This should seriously be on a T-shirt.
He is trying to lure a sniper into taking a shot, Usually there is a counter-sniper well concealed who will then take out the sniper. Alternatively there is a spotter who will call for a 500 pound gift for said sniper…..
“who will call for a 500 pound gift for said sniper”
They’ll bring in a grizzly bear??
Given all the insane stuff the USSR came up with, air-delivered ursines doesn’t sound totally out of the question…
No way. If Soviet Russia had had bear bombs, the Western world would have lost the Cold War horribly.
Especially if they were grizzly or polar bears!
We need a bear-cavalry devision!
I thought we just needed the bear necessities. *hides Baloo behind fridge*
On unicycles! They have to be on unicycles!
No 500 pounds of feta cheese. Maybe some crackers too. That will keep him busy for a while.
smart…
how do you know all that???
A trusted method since at least WW II. My only concern for that soldier is the firearm on the ground pointed directly at him. Weapon safety is key no matter where you are.
The guns probably the safest thing in the whole area and I hardly think we are in a position to criticize him.
Rax is right. The internet is no place to discuss things.
No place for YOU to discuss things.
You’re not very smart, are you…
Go to a dictionary, look up the word sarcasm, then come back and read what I wrote.
I read what you wrote, as I’ve read all of your comments over the past few days, and I stand by my last comment.
It takes a strong person to stand by their stupidity. I commend you.
Keep digging.
keep crying.
I wish I’d said that Oscar.
Peepers is in pain.
But people like to sound smart, official, and like they know what the hell they’re talking about. It helps them forget they are dumb, unofficial, and full of shit.
OH SHIT THE SNIPER SNUCK AROUND!
I’m not sure why anyone would say that even *looks* stupid.
Every time this picture is used people just sense it and come to explain to us what is going on. Now I’m not military and my knowledge is limited but IT’S NOT THAT HARD PEOPLE. WE GET IT MOVE ON.
Blah blah blah blah (type of gun on ground) blah blah blah blah (fact that gun is pointing at guy) blah blah blah (military significance of what the soldier is doing) blah blah (IT’S NOT AN AMERICAN SOLDIER) blah blah blah (froth froth froth about idiots who don’t know their guns) blah blah.
THere. That’s your typical care/military troll post, so now that it’s out of the way, can we bring on the (non recycled) funneh?
*standing ovation*
well done!
*Joins in by throwing confetti*
*puts together a mini parade through confetti*
*puts on marching band get-up and pulls out saxophone to join the parade*
this is fun!
And aren’t the uniforms snazzy!
they’re actually kinda itchy… full wool without lining is just not friendly.
*Nukes the parade until it turns into dust* **scratch that** ***drops a manatee on it***
*wonders why it’s raining paper*
Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all week!
Well you just killed this thread. I’m not sure what else can be said here.
We could discuss how we only get 1 or 2 captions a day despite voting on dozens.
And people say there is no filter.
One or two a day would be OK if they were funny. When you vote, there are some funny ones, some trying and not succeeding and some not even trying to be funny. And that last rancid batch unaccountably seem to get high scores. The system just posts up the highest scoring lols a couple of times a day. Not sure you can change that, but if you want funny you’ve got to vote for the funny!
Mind you some of the crappy ones are good for the comments…
I gave up on voting.. Despite my best efforts, the sh*tty ones are still getting through.
Oh, wait! You’re talking about PK!!!
LMAO! But maybe you’re right: McCain/Palin might have been funnier.
i’ve got to admit that more times than not, i’ll vote based on what i think will get a good conversation or two going, because most of the lols aren’t
Blame the site. They put the note “if you know what’s happening, say it in the comments’ and everyone thinks “whoa finally one that I know, I’m so commenting on it”
/round of applause.
It drives me f***ing crazy too.
“Cool, here, 20 internet points for knowing he’s trying to trick someone. Congrats, now GTFO!!”
It’s not gonna help him much if someone lobs a hand grenade through the window.
And what exactly would help him in that situation?
…Or if the enemy drops a bomb on the roof, or if a truck crashes through the wall, or if a rabid leopard runs through the door on a human bloodlust fueled rampage….or any number of extremely stupid and unlikely situations that may occur.
Do you have a tool that allows you to easily remove your shoe from your mouth? I’m just curious.
An infinite improbability field turns him into a bowl of petunias…
Or a whale free falling through space.
Not again.
If we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.
Reincarnation!
That was the hand conjuring that guy back into existence. It wasn’t a visual that lept easily to the eye.
“And what exactly would help him in that situation?”
Being somewhere else, of course!
*Bravo* LOL. That would actually make a better caption.
Nah, more likely that someone’s going to lob a grenade in through the window. In the scenario we’re looking at. Do you have a tool that allows you to remove my shoe from your mouth?
Really? You think a grenade is more likely than a rabid leopard?
As mentioned above, and I hate to explain it again, this technique is used to expose long range targets. A target close enough to lob a hand grenade would simply be shot.
Furthermore a soldier wouldn’t be just hanging out in that room alone, he has several other people covering the other entry points to the building. (the person taking the photo, for one).
Why did I even bother to type this….
Right. So… the lookouts looking out for short range targets are looking out how exactly, if they don’t want THEIR heads blown off by the long range targets? I get a mental image of a whole bunch of heads on sticks…
And for some sick reason I go from heads on sticks to babies on spikes.
“I’m Crazy Eddie! I put babies on spikes. Do you want a rack of babies?”
How is a grenade being lobbed in the window a stupid or unlikely scenario?
I’m assuming he’s in war, and I’m also assuming there is probably an enemy nearby.
I don’t know about you, but if I had a hand grenade and I saw a strange person staring at me through a crack in the window I would most certainly lob the hand grenade into the window.
But using the word “ain’t” on the other hand….
Oh, don’t be such a linguistic tightass.
I probably won’t get to post much today. Arbitration.
You know you like my tight ass.
And Arbitration doesn’t sound like a whole lot of fun at all. Maybe you can find a way to arbitrate some stuff your way!
*grabs VNV’s ass on general principles*
Yeah, the arb was ok, I’ve sat through a lot more boring stuff for the sake of work. This was not that bad.
Well welcome back! I think you should grab my ass whenever you get done doing something boring it work. Its what I do, and it always makes me feel better!
That’s a policy I can get behind.
Darn! You mean you ain’t gonna post much?!
I think the world will keep spinning.
Unfortunately you will still be on it..
Ick, arbitration doesn’t sound like a fun day. Hopefully it goes well!
In the background does it look like there is a midget (possibly armless) wearing a pink shirt spying on him?
What kind of drugs are you on and why aren’t you sharing?!!!
Ah, one of Murphy’s Laws of Combat. Nice.
Thanks for that! Now I know what I’m gonna be using for captions for the next 6 months…
LOL! 99% of those I can relate to…
This is the smartest thing I ever seen, I haven’t been deployed yet but I know I’m going to try this lol.
This is the smartest thing you’ve ever seen? Congratulations, Diaz, you just qualified for the army!
I know you’re just a troll, but that’s just mean.
Why do you insult me? I’ve done nothing to you.
I think being a total douche opens you up for being insulted, peepers. If you want to stop the abuse heaped in your direction, kindly leave and go back to /b/ where your kind runs rampant.
Oh I see, you thought I really cared? How cute.
I know you don’t care, that’s what makes it so cute. You’ll peter out just like all of the other dickless wonders who toddle in here trying to stir up trouble.
WHen your mom realizes you’ve gone over your limit of pay-by-the-minute internet she has installed in her basement, she’ll make you turn off the computer and we’ll be rid of you.
Nice, you ran the whole gambit on stupid on that one.
Gamut, stupid.
Yup, peepers just proved that spellcheck can’t hide a person’s lack of vocabulary!
You win the internet.
As Eddie the Floydist once said: At least Kiltybabes is a winner, unlike you, you puke.
lolz everyone hates you…
wow you really are a dick
Be nice.
Why? You’ve insulted anyone who’s ever served in the army. Seems like a good reason to be rude.
Does that mean you can’t be nice?
pretty much dicksniffer
Nice. I’m a bad person, and you act worse than I do. And you’re not even smart enough to get the hypocrisy.
Yet I don’t go around insulting people who haven’t insulted me. So who do you think is really worse?
You insulted me, I didn’t insult you. Look up about 2 inches.
I’m an 8 year active duty veteran of the U.S. Army. By implying that all soldiers are Dumb you insulted me and every other vet and soldier.
I didn’t imply that, but rather was commenting about Diaz’ stupidity and the Army’s current recruiting standards.
As an 8 year active duty veteran of the U.S Army I would think you should have both a thicker skin and a desire to see the army be the best of the best, not filled with the idiotic leftovers who couldn’t pass wood shop.
If you must insult a person to make yourself feel better than insult a person not an entire organization. You already agreed with me once when I said you insulted anyone who ever served in the army. Don’t change your story now.
CT – and he insulted PFC Diaz (and the military) for making a joking comment. I’m thinking it’s jealousy at PeeperTroll’s own lack of a sense of humor.
Admit it – you just want to feel offended.
If you read my original comment you’ll see that what I just said above is true, but then you would have to admit that you misunderstood it and apologize to me. And we all know you won’t do that, so you’ll continue to pretend to be offended so you can righteously defend something that’s not under attack. Well done, soldier.
I am offended because you stated that all it takes to join the army is low IQ. You can delude yourself into to thinking that’s not what you said but the bottom line is, it is. It takes both written and physical test to qualify for the army. It also takes a high school diploma so the guy that failed wood shop would of never made it. I worked hard while I was in and I don’t like my service demeaned by people like you.
As I said, Care TROLL, you just want to feel offended. Nothing I can do about that, so have yourself a good cry and a gallon of ice cream.
OOH you write troll big now I’m worried. Maybe you didn;t intend it as an insult to the military but that is indeed how it came across. Perhaps using more descriptive words and phrases in the future will help make a more vaild point and not make you seem like such a douche.
Care Troll, now that I know how sensitive you are, I will be sure to dumb down my posts even further in the future to avoid accidentally hurting your feelings again.
Have a nice day.
Peepers is still in pain.
Not really funny if you’re the guy hoping to not get shot! Obviously, he thinks there are enemy snipers just waiting to blow his head off, and this is the safest (and sanest) way to test that out! I hope that both the soldier and his gear made it back in one piece!
Yes, let’s all say a prayer for his gear.
that’s to say she hopes there WASNT a sniper trying to kill him and he got back in one piece. douche bag.
You called me a douche bag.
yeah you are a douche ok. first of all I just commented on he was smart for protecting himself and/or his battle buddies down range from enemy snipers. second ,I’m not combat arms, I’m an Information Technology Specialist so it kinda does take brains to do my job (dick). Third, it’s dicks like you who are so anti military, sitting at home, and don’t do anything with your life but complaining about everything. honestly I pity you peepers.
Thank you for your pity. I’ll put it on my mantle between my Yawn and my Eyeroll.
After displaying how stupid you are, to then brag that you’re an IT specialist doesn’t say much for the current state of our military’s IT. Care Troll might want to have a word with you.
And by the way, I’m not anti-military. You’re an idiot.
Well, it’s entirely possible that peepers tried to join the military but none of the branches would have him. That could be one explanation for his butthurt towards the military.
Probably.
what happen peepers you couldnt pass the asvab? i mean all ya need is to score a 36 and that would only make you eligable for infantrymen. i know theres no possible way you could score high enough to get my job but maybe if you wish really really hard uncle sam might let you in. LOL
Wasn’t the asvab… it was the bedwetting.
(Incidentally… 96.)
The Air Force measures it different. It goes up to 400. I aced every section except the writing/grammar section.
“The Air Force measures it different.”
I can see why.
*giggle*
Excellent point, Diaz. It’s difficult to get into the Army. “Sign here” is a very hard test.
Once again you show your ignorance.
So many people saying, “I hope I can get into Harvard, Yale or the Army!”.
The army is a college? When did that change? They’re two different things but yeah. there are people saying I hope I can get into the army.
You mean West Point, dipshit? Yeah, there are.
Unless of course you meant west point. Then yes there are people hoping for that as well.
Previous comment directed at “poopers”, not you, caretroll!
nice dis at about the same time too lol
You know peepers comment made me check west points rankings just out of curiosity. I knew it was high but not sure how high. I found the 2009 forbes college rankings list
link
Diss, you win 50 internets for “poopers”!!
Oh please, you pansy ass. You wouldn’t last a day in basic training. I’ve never joined the military and even I know that. You’d be sucking your thumb and crying like a little bitch by noon.
people, why are you busy bickering with this 12 year old who is snickering cause he is causeing people to argue over the interweb, throwing his arms up and talking about oh how clever he is. just ignore him, he will go away, like herpes
Except herpes never goes away. :p
“Not really funny if you’re the guy hoping to not get shot!”
For sure. Good thing this is a site where people try to write funny captions and we are all not the guy hoping to get shot and therefore can giggle at it (if we’re humourally inclined to find it funny).
“hoping to get shot”? What a difference a word makes…
usefull for rpg ^^
I actually saw a much better caption for this picture in the voting. “Jose Jalapeño (On a stick) joins the Army!”
Right Jeff ah fff fff ah.
Now THAT would be hi-larious! So of course, it didn’t make it up here.
DunHAM!
HEY MINA! *zooms hand over head*
NEEEEEEOOOOOWWWW
(My lame attempt at typing the noise he makes)
Notice I didn’t try. LOL. Kudo’s for the effort.
Hence “looks”.
That was a strategy used in WW2, the soldier would stick up a helmet on a stick or pole, and hopefully a sniper would shoot, revealing his/her position. This allowed the soldiers to shoot the sniper after revealing his/her spot.
THE FLAG IS BELIGAN
It is not! The flag is Belgian!
Those aren’t coal miners, they’re firefighters!
In Belgium!!
Einstein was a socialist!
Dammit! Too late!
It’s all starting to make sense…
EINSTEIN WAS A SOCIALIST!!!1!!11!1
If the ’sniper’ happens to have an RPG, he’s pretty fooked anyway!
I see the midget too! Sneaky midget, we’re on to ya!
You people that are seeing the midger are on drugs and I’m really pissed off that you’re keeping them all to yourselves!!!
We reserve the right to arm bears!
Sniper spotting.
Checking if a sniper is there, or luring a known one
smart approach, but war sux.
What we have here is a trainer at an Army counterinsurgency school, creating the illusion of a muj fighter hiding behind a partially blocked window. Note that he is below the normal height of any incoming fire, and further protected by a substantial brick wall.
Ah. Modern fighting techniques. I never would have been able to figure it out without this explanation.
