Nice, loud, unambiguous "negotiating statements"! :-)
Interesting note, in the second photo, apparently taken at very high speed (I fired up my Windows Calculator and guesstimate 1/1000 sec.), you can see the shell after it's been fired, in the upper right corner of the photo. Follow a straight visual line from the gun barrel.
Negotiations such as these will only result in Tim Bits.
For those who didn't catch it, Fred made a good funny there.
The troops have nicknamed the Taliban "Timmy" - hence the Tim Bits joke.
Sorry to explain the joke to death, Fred, but not everyone would have caught your punchline otherwise. :)
hey . . no worries . . I didn't know about "Tim Bits" until I read it here on your most excellent blog.
great stuff, it's good to see the new lightweight 155 being put to use.
