Default Re: Ironically hilarious environmentally friendly, comfortable and safe BMP-1

Hey.. it happens!

In 2006, my squad worked an ECP in Baghdad with a battalion of the Georgian Army. They had found an ex-Saddam's army BMP-1, drug it into an overwatch position, cranked the turret around to face the ECP entrance, and left it. The thing was full of pigeons, and the inside walls were scribbled over with soldier graffiti, such as '1-7 Cav was here,' 'F*** 1-7 Cav,' '3-16 FA dominates,' '3-16 FA sucks a**,' ad nauseum. I remember how cramped the inside was; as bad as our Bradleys were, I'd hate to ride into a fight in a BMP.
