Was anyone hurt? It looks like someone could've easily drown in the LAV or got seriously knocked around in the Abrams? But that would make for a good dio.

im not going to ask how that LAV got there.....

I like the mudded up tank on or off the tank transport, M1070 / 1000.

Those -25 pics looked familiar.... the LAV belonged to B Co.4th LAR, one of the scouts died they were QRF responding to an ambush.

Here's another idea you can use.

I met with a US tanker, who was in the opening attack into Iraq. His unit was part of the 3rd US Infantry Division. His tank unit was on a crossroads, when they heard on the radio that a small US convoy was under attack. He responded, and a Bradley tagged along.

When he arrived, three HMMWV's were under small arms and RPG fire. one US soldier was lying out in the open, wounded. He pulled his abrams up, usinng it as a shield, hopped down unarmed, grabbed the soldier and carried him to the bradley, while being shot at. He returned to his tank and using the .50 caliber laid supressing fire for the other soldiers to get to the Bradley. Seconds later an RPG round exploded on the ground near the bradley, originating from a nearby house. He swung the turret over and used the 120mm gun to destroy the house. His actions saved the wounded soldiers life and the lives of the resto of the convoy. He was awarded the Silver Star for his Bravery.

If you want I can give you his name, but pm me.

AJ you need to post that story on the net.
Looks like the Driver fell asleep in the M-1, Ive had that happen to me a time or 2 :-)

It looks like the Waddi gave out when they where going down the road. Seems to be a problem over there.
