It's called thanking somebody. That probably never happens to you, right, cuz you're soooo smart you just do the work aaaaall alone.miserable loneryoure not just an idiot to some, but to everybody. Just thinking thanking somebody means not thinking by yourself is selfish, ridiculous, and proves you have none.go jerk off somewhere else, all by yourself.

Goldenage, what do you know about war? I'm a british ex-marine and if holding back gives you the upper hand, you do it. There was a platoon from the north so why get stuck in vegetation when theres no point? As a Brit, Ive held back at the gun line as many times as pushing up, being french has fuck all to do with it. By the way, it isnt an M249, thats a yank version, its a Minimi. A French weapon that we use too. Av some respect, the French are stuck in and doing a good job. You're a joke.

You are wrong the EC725 is not hold ! Make some research about this model and you'll see. It's not Puma or Cougar helicopter ...

"war?what is that?im french"first they retreat,then at 4:55 the .50 isnt ready, at 5:02 the sniper fucks up and after that the M249 jams...
IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT A WAR,DO OT PROPERLY. IF YOU CANT,DONT EVEN BOTHER. YOU DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
