Post WW2 and Modern Warfare Pics

Meet your 1st Lieutenant in the Artillery.



And a well armed paratrooper.

Swedish tanks & Swedish forest. =)

Is that in case Denmark invades?

So I found a picture of Danish armor:

Show Spoiler

Exactly why you should consider the IDF! They have guns, they have chicks, and they have chicks with guns!

...and they are more or less constant in a state of war. They salary is a joke.. a very bad one and the soldier is the punchline.

About 1/3 of the IDFs soldiers are women. In Germany more than 50 % of the students are female. So guess where the chances to meet and mingle are better.

Meet your 1st Lieutenant in the Artillery.

A comissioned officer wearing sandals and jewlery on duty... sorry I can't take that serious.

I am also curious how she will hump 40-50 kg 155 mm shells. Judgeing from the picture she is only slightly heavier.

Should that be "The Swedish tank-force & Swedish forest." Since you are showing all three of our tanks. Bring it Russia, we can hold you for almost 4 minutes now!

(I didn't back when I had the chance, but I would have been 5+ years older than my fellow conscripts and would have been giving up much of my 20's. I still kind of regret I didn't.)

"Isreali women pack more than just makeup"

There really isn't a lack of this on the internet. Just google something like "women of the IDF" and click on the images tab.

Viva IL!

A few more:

Women of the Caracal Battalion, a mixed gender combat unit made up of both Isrealis and Arabs.



Female paramedics during Operation Protective Edge (the last conflict in Gaza):



And here is an article about women in the IDF in International Business Times:

are these female units deployed in any theater of war right now ?

In a way... yes. It is called Israel.

That picture is from a news article about the paramedics in the latest conflict with Gaza, so yes, they are in a theater of war when the picture is taken.

Israel is organized around 4 fronts, Southern (Egyptian border, Gaza), Northern (Lebanon and Syria), Central (Jordan and the West Bank), and Home (that one is new to me and I don't know much about it, or if it includes the West Bank or not).

Women (and men) can be stationed on what are known as "open" or "closed" bases. "Closed" bases are the homes of combat troops and are situated near the borders. "Open" are usually farther from the front and are for supply, training, etc. (Front is really a nuanced term here. Nothing in Israel is very far from anything else. You can drive Israels width in an hour or two, and the length of it in 5, depending on traffic. It is about the size of New Jersey, one of the smaller states in the US.)

As to the 30% women #, for conscripts it is likely closer to 40%. Men are more likely to stay past conscription, particularly in the Air Force and Navy.

That is how you know she is not on duty. But off duty they are required to wear their uniforms. Israeli soldiers have a fair amount of leeway when off duty. It is a "citizens" army where almost all the officers are required to have been enlisted soldiers first, they often know many of their compatriots and officers personally (it is a small country) and there is little formality. (This really shows in the showy stuff. They don't salute well since they don't generally salute, they don't march well, etc.)

I am also curious how she will hump 40-50 kg 155 mm shells. Judging from the picture she is only slightly heavier.

I had a partner when I worked on a volunteer ambulance corp who was under 160 cm and 45 kilos. She was able to handle her half of the stretcher without a problem. That is more than picking up 1/2 of a 155mm shell (the US m107 projectile is 43 kg) and it is done by three men, 2 to hold the projectile on a cradle and the third rams it in. That is less than my partner did with stretchers.

Besides, there are a lot more roles in an artillery unit than loading.

There has always been something super sexy about this ugly beast. Maybe it is that huge 30mm cannon?

That is my favourite american airplane, and I don't like much american stuff.

I wonder what Dr. Freud would say about that
