By the way…

The Squad “Commander” in the back is “old”…

He’s about 16…

Mt. Everest…

“Sagarmatha” in Nepali; “Chomolunga” in Tibetan…

29,000ft of Seductive Fury at the edge of the Tibetan Plateau on the border between Nepal and Tibet…

…The only ones to have reached the summit of Everest…are those whom God has allowed…

Laird Hamilton…Worlds Biggest Balls![/quote]

I love this picture for 2 reasons: Tim McKenna is my favorite photographer, and Laird Hamilton is the Michael Jordan of surfing.

Avtomat Kalashinikova

More AK-47 rifles and variants have been produced than any other assault rifle. Production continues to this day.

That is what my “Young Lion” friend is carrying with the stock cut off.

Ok a couple of more Paintings from Frank Frazzeta:

#2… its PG-13

how come every time I look down I see this disgusting man-woman with guns the size of mine? Why Can’t I choose like a hot girl? That pic stays grossing me out…

Laird Hamilton–different view of the same wave a page ago. Just exactly how deep inside the giant wave he is in these next two pics is very, very scary…

Tiny man, Big wave.

Holy Shit! is all I can say to that one

I’m not so sure it’s confidence, I’d aim closer to 1/2 confidence, 1/2 insanity[/quote]

Ditto that. No rope, 600-700ft above a very nasty river in Yosemite…

btw, tveddy, where did you get the pic from? I posted that a long time ago somewhere on here, but lost that on my last computer and couldn’t find it. Thanks for bringing it back so I can save it. :slight_smile:

This is part of my wife’s Masters Thesis. Most of these kids start at age 8-9. The sad part is what happens to them when the war ends, and they are 20 with 11 years of killing exp. and no education. Some resum?, heh?

gadjet:

Yes; it’s very sad that War is all they know and learn. They literally become expendable “Universal Soldiers”.

Your wife has most likely studied at length how Haddid and Taylor were the first to really organize these young killers and assassins into organized groups, in large numbers, to fight their guerilla wars and insurgencies.

The sad part is that when you actually TALK to one of these kids one-on-one, all you see and hear is a frightened kid, who eventually loses his very soul by the time he is a pre-teen.

At that point, they become the perfect killing machine…and Haddid and Taylor knew that better than anybody…

I dig it too! Good add.


Darkside–the Road ahead

you can crop out the words at the bottom if you want. I debated on doing that, but I felt like they spoke to me, so I left them in.
