You are currently reading a thread in /k/ - Weapons
Has anyone here fought in any of the recent (1990+) wars? It seems like /k/ has a very small veteran population for a board centered around guns and warfare.
>>30334519
I survived highschool
>>30334541
That doesn't count. I'm talking Yugoslavia, Chechnya, Afghanistan, etc.
>>30334556

>>30334571
>But impressive considering what army i was in

>>30334574
Naah Belgian army , home for a couple of weeks , but those days only thing we do is patrolling our own streets
>>30334583
sideways Germany then
>>30334574
Love this meme
I think there are more vets than you assume, they just hide thier power level. They can't all be jayce.
>>30334583
>>30334605
Inderdaad , people still believe France and Germany didnt do shit in afghanistan
>>30334541
This
It was pretty tough desu
Was anybody else constantly bored? Did anyone else struggle to pay attention?
>>30334628
Yea also considering the fact that i was smarter then most people but still sucked at it because i didn't give a shit
>>30334519

>>30334652

>>30334664
The meme can be true sometimes :^)
I fought with the Serbian Army during the Bosnian war.
Iraq in 2008. A couple IEDs, some sniper fire, and one real MOUT engagement.
>>30334708
Did you shoot anybody?
>>30334689
ilu?
>>30334519
Afghanistan 2003, Iraq 2007.
Two tours of each.
No IEDs, no firefights, only saw sniper fire and random potshots.
Killed some goats on accident.
>>30334745
>Killed some goats on accident.
Tell us about this "accident" in detail please.
>>30334745
lmao , story on that goat please
Afghanistan 2011. Shit ton of IEDs but I did route clearance the whole time
>>30334519
Iraq 2008
Some EFPs, some command-wire 155s, a few real firefights and lots of random potshots, and two thrown grenades.
>>30334519
Iraq in 08. Only thing worth mentioning was seeing a herd of cows get rekt by a mortar barrage that fell short of us.
weird huh
Afghanistan 2012, didn't see shit
>>30334625
Everyone knows the French are the most willing and capable American ally.
But the worthless Bundeswehr reputation is deserved.
>>30334719

lol, and some kekolds actually claim that these shitty desert wars are just as intense as WW2 or Korea or Vietnam.
>>30334519
2014 battle of Mariupol
Donbass People's Militia, we'll obviously I fought for the dnr it was afew month's i was there at the very end so a week shot a Ukrainian soldier and injured him them we fell back
>>30335041
oy blin tell me comrade i am fellow sovietska like you :^)
>>30335049
it seems like the iraq/afganistan conflicts are basically just IED's, sniper fire and blowing up various livestock for the luls
>>30335082
What did you carry? AKs-74u?
>>30335049
>>30335088
In some situations in most certainly could be, however those situations are probably very few and far between.
>>30335114
Just a regular rpk honestly the only scary thing is is the artillery Ukrainians love heavy shells
>>30334708
why can't they just fucking call it a city fight
you know, a city fight
no no it's got to have another mother fucking acronym
fuck
FUCK
>>30335152
Is artillery as nerve-racking as it seems
>>30335181
Have you ever spoken to anyone from the military or read any military document? It's at least 50% acronyms.
>>30335199
Nah a heavy shell exploding metres away isn't scary who doesn't love being temp deaf?
>>30335233
Mortar attack to our base in iraq always scared the shit out of me
>>30335244
Oh I understand I was at Donetsk airport and they went ham with that
>>30335233
To be honest, being deaf on one ear has it's advantages. You can always position yourself the correct way if you don't want to listen to some faggot or loud noises.
>>30334689
Thank you for removing kebab.
>>30335268
Wer/Are there ied's in Ukraine ?
And where are you now?
Most if /o/ are ricers that take the bus to work. There are veterans that don't get into shooting sports, hunting, hema etc
>>30335282
I did not remove any kebab, but I did shoot three Bosnians. I think one died, the other two I'm not sure.
>>30335359
That's good enough.
>>30335297
Bosia Im a Bosnian Serb but I joined the dnr because I know what it's like to be hounded by artillery I was in a artillery battalion in the Republika Srpska I was 16 during that time but I found the war in donbass better because I actually knew what I was doing
>>30335394
So was it fun ?
>>30335394
Why are you lying?
Protip for all you faggots that think there are Balkan war vets here, there aint
>>30335387
I also saw a woman kneeling in front of a burnt house and holding a dead child in her arms while sobbing. It was the saddest thing I've ever seen in my life and I think about it a lot.
>>30335405
Ukraine yes because it's fun getting wasted with your squad mates Bosnian war no it was stressful because you always heard artillery I was smart enough to wear earplugs so I'm not deaf but I was stationed near Sarajevo so I probably injured someone
There are no Balkan war vets here unless they were part of the UN mission there.
>>30335428
Sto lazes majmun jedan?
>>30335415
Oh good thing my PTSD never happened because I wasn't forced to bombard Sarajevo or witness my hometown be bombed by nato
>>30335454
You spellt it wrong kurwa
>>30335482
Not only are you lying but you don't even know the native tongue? Loooooool. You're welcome /k/, fag got exposed in 2 posts.
>>30335482
Also it was near impossible for Bosnians to get any artillery into Sarajevo much less use it, you'd actually understand why if you've been there.
>>30335512
Republika Srpska not the Bosnian army
5 deployments
shot some dudes
most memorable story. was 2 man going into a room where the guy in front of me took two to his kit. 1st round broke the plate, 2nd one went through. he died when we tried to drag him out
also took a shit in one of their tea pot things they have
>>30335523
I'm well aware of the sides that participated consider I actually lived in Bosnia and was injured during the war so your bullshit won't fly here pal.
>>30335415
>>30335454
>>30335496
Why is it so hard to believe that someone who did not want to fight a war they did not believe in deserted and fled to Romania?
>>30335547
Because it didn't happen
>>30335049
>>30335140
Yeah, I never went but some of things I heard can be similar to some engagements in Vietnam
>>30335563
But it did.

gee what a surprise, it's almost as if people that think they're special for not being a white American on 4chan like you and TheRussian are autistic or something.
>>30334583
Hows the pay in the belgoyim army? I've considered joining a couple of times but honestly I don't hold it in high regard and the pay is probably not that great either.
>>30335667
The Serbs had plenty, Bosnians were totally surrounded and even bringing in water was a challenging. Your link shows nothing m80.
>>30335717
Great rebuttal.

Ironic isn't it
>>30335772
Do you keep your trip on because you know normal people would want to filter you or do you actually have attention cravings?
>>30335772
Well to be fair you haven't provided anything proving that there are no Balkan war veterans. Making a claim as if it is fact without backing it up is basically shitposting.
>>30334519
Sadly no. I went into the army in 1985 and was in the reserve by the time Desert Storm happened. My reserve unit was not called up and so I missed the only war of my era.
Not that big a deal really. It was over in 100 hours. I do feel weird when someone thanks me for serving and I've never accepted a single veteran benefit. I didn't do much of anything.
>>30335798
Oh that's not what I said m80. I know there are Balkan war vets here because I've talked to them, however none were from the Balkans because they were with the UN. Further proof is this lying fag that got exposed and obviously dropped the name or left. The proof is literally ITT.
>>30335790
>>30335798
guys stop bullying him before he suicide bombs an art gallery or something
>>30334519
We have a large veteran population.
>>30334683
These people do exist but they're usually too lazy and disinterested to actually claim that. I always doubt the ones who do.
>>30335827
>I've only ever seen NATO vets so there are no Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, Macedonian, or Slovenian vets
>plus this one guy made up stuff
So...anecdotal evidence?
>>30335049
Lol, so which province were you in?
>>30335852
The same can be said of your argument friend. Also where did I claim to see only NATO vets?
>>30335883
>muh semantics
Can you respond to him like a normal functioning human? Is this possible?
>>30335891
I did respond. You can't claim I made a point I never made lad, don't be upset.

>>30335901
Racist
>>30335898
I didn't make that post, you illiterate retard. I'm asking you if it's possible for you to make a response to him without hiding behind petty semantics. I'm assuming no since you haven't done it yet.
>>30335082
So, how would you rate Russian cock in your ass?
>>30334519
Thats because every time a veteran comes here and mentions their experience, some basement warrior finds something in their posts that doesn't add up in his mind and accuses them of stolen valor (as if it would even mean anything on an anonymous Tajik 7scrimshaw forum).

Me saying I was there is not an argument...I'm making a claim
>>30335960
NATO != UN
Epic fail.

lol where did you name go? im with the kebab on this. youre full of shit. lets see proof of your service.

>le semantics
Literally your entire response to him.
You said you dont believe that there are vets from that war on /k/ outside of anyone on the UN mission. Anon said NATO instead of UN in that post. This doesn't change the meaning in his post in any way, nor did it invalidate his point that you've only been arguing anecdotal evidence. You chose to ignore this point to attack his error in saying NATO instead of UN.
Please fucking kill yourself, preferably without taking out infidels with you.
>>30336005
so lets see proof of your service, everyone that has claimed to be a vet from the region has never provided proof
>>30335906
It's funny how people think this is an insult.
>>30336037
I deserted. Meaning I ditched my uniform, rifle, everything and left for Romania. There was nothing left in the Balkans for me.
Most people probably don't provide proof because they don't want anything to connect them to that time. It wasn't fun or full of memes like people on here would suggest.
>>30336035
Yes it does. NATO and UN participated and had vastly different roles, also I didn't choose to attack his error because I already addressed his point. Reading comprehension m8.
>>30336069
Captcha ate my trip.
>>30336068
Right. Thanks for confirming you lied.
>>30336068
>he has no proof
>still thinks we believe him
uh no
>>30335905
Air Force. I did intel and traveled around a lot, some tense moments, but nothing ever happened.
But a few days after going to Salerno it got attacked, so there's that.
>>30336069
You didn't address his point that all of your argument is built on anecdotes. It doesn't invalidate his post in the context you were arguing with him in. Holy shit dude you have to have aspergers to be this incapable of forming logic.
>>30336069
You can't say I'm using anecdotal evidence when I'm making a claim. I've already stated why I can't/don't want to provide evidence.
>>30336082
>it's impossible for someone posting on /k/ to have fought a bit in Bosnia
>>30334683
>>30334652
It's designed to beat you down desu. You would be dangerous if you grew up like a real man.
>>30334519
Well this thread went to shit pretty fast.I guess I'll throw my stories into the pile regardless. Bear in mind these all come from vets who were deployed earlier in the Iraq/Afghanistan conflict.
One from an officer's time as a pl. This took place in RC south iirc. His unit hadn't really seen a lot of action in the deployment (just pot shots, and smaller ieds), but about halfway through his striker column got hit with a 500-800 lb bomb that cracked the vehicle in front of his. His driver's hatch was open, allowing a chunk of the cracked vehicle's armor to fly in, cutting his driver's head in half and continuing down the hellhole to embed itself in said officer's side. Not only did he lose an entire third of his platoon (1 squad, gun team, gunner, and VC), but he was wounded by the same piece of metal that just passed through his own driver's head.
The next one was from a spc pulling security on a compound (I should add that the ANA present with the group refused to even go down the road leading to the compound, which should present some huge warning lights). The point man stepped on a "toe popper" and lost his feet at the ankles, causeing the minehound operator and the medic to panic and run to him. The medic triggered a secondary when he knelt down to help the pointman and all three were killed. The Spc on security got a piece of femur embedded in him, but that didn't stop him from having to be on the team that picked up remains. Unfortunately they had a massive area to cover, due to the proximity of the explosives, and by the time they found the medic's torso, dogs had gotten to it on the side of a nearby irrigation canal.
The last one I have for now was from a drill that I knew a while ago. They were on patrol and stopped to give out water to kids. One of the children didn't appreciate that too much, and stabbed one of the members of his team in the throat with a broken piece of glass, killing him in seconds.
PTSD is real, just different from WWII
>>30336114
You can not believe me all you want, I don't care, but I am going to defend the integrity of my claims
>>30336149
It seems like there's a connection with tripshits jerking themselves off over their assumed knowledge and threads going to shit.
>>30336149
Holy shit that's really fucking traumatic
>>30335939
Right? And there's a lot of wanna-be hooah hooahs on here that either never served and try to demean people with their fake service or did serve and inflate it and any insecurities encompassed in that onto other people who served, possibly greater than them.
I'm a pretty regular guy, I've served (still in, going for six) and if I mention anything related to some shit I've done, am set to do, or even mention it sideways; I get a fucking barrage of
>lol, let's see your proof
>lol, no you didn't
>let's see your ID
>lol, you won't make it through (insert school)
So why even try? It's not like I've ever said anything sideways, I'm that guy that doesn't say shit unless I think it's relevant.
There's a lot of angst, disgruntlement and unhappiness amongst both veterans and wanna-be never-served fags.
Just be the best fucking people you can be.
Whew.

>>30335891
>Mudslime
>Human
Mudslimes don't actually respect Western laws, so they aren't protected by human rights. You can theoretically kill a Mudslime and it is legal.
>>30335049
Despite what movies may have made you believe, most soldiers do not actually engage in intense combat or even any combat, in any war.
