#1 Fun in Africa (Primer to African Fighting)

Images from the battle for Monrovia, Liberia, where use of iron sights is known to be strictly prohibited. Also prohibited are aiming, assuming a supported firing stance, and any common practice of marksmanship whatsoever. Hip-Hop/Rapper/Gangsta shooting stances are mandatory, the "Glock Foh-Tay" hold being the most popular. lethality is acheived by subjecting the target to a wide swathe of area fire, simliar to unaimed indirect artillery, or scaring the enemy away with gesturing and aggressive hip-hop style dancing while firing. Points are awarded for artistic effort, style, fearsome facial expression/vocalizations and blue duct tape.

Image
Note perfectly executed flamboyant sideways-rifle "Glock Foh-Tay" running stance.

Image
Amazing height and style on this one. Sure to impress the judges!

Image
"Yo Yo YO, Fo' Shizzle"

Image
The "bring your buddy along" firing stance

Image
Firing from the hip while putting on the best "Game Face" and bellowing like an Ox - always sure to make your enemy skeedadle!

Image
The "Homeless street person" anti-aircraft firing position being executed with great precision!

Image
Here we have a classic! The "prone Warrior " firing position - too bad the magazine spring has blown out from the bottom of his beautifully blue-duct-tape-taped jungle magazine setup.

Image
Here we have Liberian militia demonstrating the "Soul Train" method of combat assault.

Image
The Nautical theme is ever popular, as seen by this militiaman wearing the stylish Kapok life jacket.
Won't stop a bullet, but sure looks Boo-yaa!

Image
This pair is executing the difficult "Phat Bammer Swagger" shooting stance.

Image
The Phat "Batman Begins" RPG firing position is new but hot.

Image
While this appears to be a well-rehearsed combat assault maneuver, this militiaman is actually trying to keep birds from crapping on his car. Note the feather duster in the left hand for effect.

Image
This Militiaman executes the one handed high overhead blind shot. It is often used to indicate that "Da Brizzles over there".

Image
And last but not least, these two are showing the proper way to fire a support weapon using the non-aiming duck-walk method, keeping at least five feet of linked ammo strung out from the weapon at any given time! Note the suitably awe-struck onlookers!

Hardened child militia soldiers greet each other near front line positions as the offensive continues.

Image
A truckful of child soldiers prepare to charge a rebel position at a key bridge downtown, to smother the enemy with their bodies.

A militia commander leads his men in a withering attack on rebels downtown.

A young soldier attempts to reload under heavy incoming fire.

Image
A Liberian commander, left, orders a reluctant young soldier to charge into battle.

Image
A government militial commander fires a rocket at enemy positions, and then exults after his direct hit.

Fighters turn away from battle and scream.

A young child soldier walks away from shooting while another taunts the enemy over the bridge.

A government soldier fires a burst at rebels. (The only man in Africa who knows what he's doing)
Have a very nice day.

None of the images are showing for me. I'd have to manually look at each.

Works fine for me and as funny as hell.
It's not that I'm unforgiving, it's that most of the people who wrong me are unrepentant assholes.
