    Great pics Mortman. The pic above the market was ominous in its own way just thinking what may be down there. Did you make contact when or while your insertion or afterwards?

    Do post your other op. photos too please.

    Hello all, I'm new. And i was looking up some things about task force ranger in somalia, and this site popped up and i noticed the thread was started by a man proclaimiing to a part of task force ranger in somalia. i thought nothing of this until i saw the pics the man (coward) was using to claim as part of the task force...THIS COWARD IS FULL OF IT!!! this coward has been cought twice now using another mans pictures. this caoward has used these same pictures proclaiming he took them in the latest iraq war as well. we caught this coward passing these pics out to women and proclaiming he was now a major at ft bragg with the 82nd. we know its the same coward because we found out he lives in indianapolis indiana. and his post n here say hes from indy. Mortman was NEVER in iraq, let alone fought beside those brave men that he is dishonoring with his Bull!!!! this coward DID serve in the army, but not as a ranger...but as a phone tech at ft gordon in the late 80s. Boonierat...give it a rest you lying coward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Interesting first post; but that is not the way things are done here. You are new and do not have PM's yet so I'll explain this here:

    In the top right corner of every post is a small triangle with an "!" in it, that is what is used to bring attention to an offending or inappropriate post.

    The route you took very well could lead to you getting "clipped" before you get off the ground.

    The Admins will no doubt contact you and request you supply further information.
