Rate dumb terrorist/insurgent last welds

admin

Rate them welds. We had this thing land on our AO in iraq in 08. It's beleived that the creator of this device used a neverlast machine on those welds.

Reply:If anyone was lobbing stuff like that at me, I'd hope the welds on the fins would fall off and the stuff would crash and burn on liftoff.Thanks for serving and stay safe..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.

Reply:Where was your AO in Iraq?
Reply:If I can find them I will post up pics of the "welds" on the bunks we slept on in Kuwait before moving into Iraq in 2004. I ended up sleeping on a cot after I broke the bottom rung off one of the ladders getting into the top rack. Maybe I should have gotten a bronze star for saving my battle buddies life from keeping my fat azz from crushing him in the middle of the night.

Reply:We had a similar sized rocket land between our hangar and the dining facility at Balad. Although a bit more refined looking, It also did not explode.
Reply:Crude but interesting. I wonder what they use for propellant? Looks like it's inserted then the crude nozzle is attached.
Reply:If you have not figured out from reading on this site yet, it is the person doing the welding not the machine they are using that is responsible for the quality of the actual weld.  however we also see plenty of noobs post up the same high quality welding jobs done with Lincoln and MIller machines.   Under your assumptions,  anyone can be a great welder right out of the box as long as the machine is red or blue  unfortunately the sarcasm is lost here as many believe my statement to be truthTiger Sales:  AHP Distributor    www.tigersalesco.comAHP200x; AHP 160ST; MM350P,  Spoolmatic 30A; Everlast PowerTig 185; Thermal Dynamics 60i plasma.  For Sale:  Cobra Mig 250 w/ Push-pull gun.  Lincoln Wirematic 250

Reply:I would want to measure the fins to see if they were the exact same size like they were cut out on a cnc plasma. it appeared to be painted before the welds (in kit form). I would want to know what kind of paint and where it came from. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if this was CIA and co., some operation northwoods $hit. After being rocketed for dozens of sleepless nights in afghanistan I read the declassified operation northwoods documents and it really woke me up and made me . Read it! it talks about shooting mortars in on our own bases to blame on the enemy. Blowing up our own ships, staging terror attacks. on and on. It describes some F#%cked up $hit! I decided then I was done with being a pawn.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods you can also read the actual document (its not very long) but wikipedia sums it up well.www.performancealuminumfabrication.com

Reply:Plenty of legit Qassam rockets get fired at Israel, for example.
Reply:When the NWO / UN / China / Russia has military bases all over your country, what will you do?  Maybe weld the fins on at an angle so it will spin?
