Fat Iraqi soldier running with AK47 (funny pic)

[Kharn]

An unidentified volunteer from an Arab nation runs and fires an AK-47 during combat training at a military base at an Iraqi military base on the edge of Baghdad, Iraq Wednesday, March 12, 2003. Officials at the base said Arab volunteers, who are training for a possible war against Iraq, have said they were ready for "martyrdom," a euphemism for suicide attacks.

I think this Iraqi needs to be taught how to run while retaining control of his weapon, he might shoot an American by accident while trying to surrender.

I dub thee...

"Captian Falafel!"

 

[Tamara]

"Getcher friggin' finger off the friggin' trigger, lard-lad!"


(OMG! He really is shooting it! Is that not spent brass suspended in the air, right over the window? )

 

[Chris Rhines]

Do I see his finger on the trigger of that AK? Bad.

Gotta love that finger. He probably wants it do discharge so it's lighter when he runs away and returns with honor (still has his gun with him) when they regroup. Either that or he wants to show up with a gun and receive a bounty like General Gage use to offer our riflemen during the Siege of Boston. Gage offered $10 back in 1775-1776.

BTW, don't laugh at el gordo. We've got plenty of them ourselves and I ain't no example of razor thin either.

Tamara: I think you're right, Pvt. Tubby is firing his AK.

He's not fat, he's just big boned.............

 

[spacemanspiff]

that doesnt really look like a "running" posture. maybe skipping? could be a tactical maneuver to make the enemy distracted by laughing at tons-of-fun skipping around the battlefield.

It looks like he's wearing a gold watch....is that the standard issue time piece for the tubby infantry?

This war should be over pretty quick.

 

[El Tejon]

You sure this isn't one of the militia boys? Same discipline on food I see.

 

[Quartus]

He's firing - read the caption.

Now whether that's part of the training plan or not we don't know...


Ah! I've got it! He's a reverse Kamakazi! He's going to charge at American planes while firing his weapon!

 

[fish2xs]

Notice the white flag....

The gold watch and finger on the trigger are interesting, but isn't that a white flag rolled up and coiled around his left shoulder? THAT's what I call being prepared!!

 

[Atticus]

That's a mobile anti-aircraft battery! I think he'll soon meet his goal of achieving martyrdom.

"what's your caption for the picture" ???

Here's mine:

"...Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's off to lunch I go
(Whistle)
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's off to lunch I go
(Whistle)
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho..."




P.S. He should tie his boot laces before his AK goes where the sun doesn't shine...ouch!!!



Just my 2 cents...

 

[El Tejon]

"Welcome to Iraq's finest militree academy--THE SITASPELL!"

 

[Quartus]

Wait a minute! The obvious just hit me!


Teletubbies aren't supposed to be armed!

 

[mattk]

Looks to me like he is skipping

 

[geekWithA.45]

I thought suicide troops had bombs, not guns.

Well, I guess it doesn't matter what weapon you've got, if you point it at a US Marine. You still qualify for the suicide corps(e).

 

[moa]

Well, it appears to me that trooper "el-Fa Trd" is not wearing one of those AK47 ammo vest thingies.

I suspect they did not have any in XXXL size.

I wonder how many camels this clown has crushed? And, don't mean the cigarettes.

 

[Gewehr98]

He's not Iraqi, read the caption.

He's a volunteer from an Arab nation. Probably a specialist, maybe an adaptation or offshoot of the Ministry of Silly Walks?

 

[Blackhawk]

Firing in the air one handed while running is training I didn't get.

 

[atk]

skipping...

He's a volunteer from an Arab nation. Probably a specialist, maybe an adaptation or offshoot of the Ministry of Silly Walks?

It appears his left leg is crossed over to the right, past the fence. I wonder if that's intentional or not...

 

[Correia]

Give me a break. Ok, the guy is a moron because he is shooting his rifle like a moron, and he volunteered to fight us, which is incredibly stupid.

But as for fat? I'm sure behind the anonymity of our keyboards all of us are perfectly buffed triathletes and all with 5% body fat and what not, but the guy isn't even that fat. I must be imagining all of the lard butted gun nuts I see at the gun show and range.

I make this guy look like a freaking ballerina. Anybody want to get into a fight with me?

 

[seeker_two]

Probably training for the French Surrender Battalion...

"Non, Non, Ahmed! You must drop le rifel' first, zen you run away w/ les arms in le air..."

Damn Seagull, I'll see you in Hell for that!
