ere formed. It was played every morning during PT until recently. Posted by a Panther. H-Minus! Airborne! All the way! For those of you who know what the hell a panther is you might also appreciate this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiWPZJoxk1A LYRICS: He was just a rookie trooper and he
surely shook with fright. He checked off his equipment and made sure his pack was tight. He had to sit and listen to those awful engines roar. You ain't gonna jump no more. Chorus: Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die. Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die. Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
He ain't gonna jump no more. "Is everybody happy?" cried the sergeant looking up. Our hero feebly answered, "Yes", and then they stood him up. He jumped into the icy blast, his static line unhooked. And he ain't gonna jump no more. He counted long, he counted loud, he waited for the shock. He fel
t the wind, he felt the cold, he felt the awful drop. The silk from his reserve spilled out and wrapped around his legs. And he ain't gonna jump no more. The risers swung around his neck, connectors cracked his dome. Suspension lines were tied in knots around his skinny bones. The canopy became his
shroud, he hurtled to the ground. And he ain't gonna jump no more. The days he lived and loved and laughed kept running through his mind. He thought about the girl back home, the one he left behind. He thought about the medicos and wondered what they'd find. And he ain't gonna jump no more. The a
mbulance was on the spot, the jeeps were running wild. The medics jumped and screamed with glee, rolled up their sleeves and smiled. For it had been a week or more since last a 'chute had failed. And he ain't gonna jump no more. He hit the ground, the sound was "Splat," his blood went spurting high
. His comrades they were heard to say, "A helluva way to die." He lay there rolling 'round in the welter of his gore. And he ain't gonna jump no more. There was blood upon the risers, there were brains upon the 'chute. Intestines were a-dangling from his paratrooper suit. He was a mess, they picked
him up and poured him from his boots. And he ain't gonna jump no more.

à l'espèce de sentiment de supériorité à la con des Amerloques sur le reste du Monde... N'empêche, le drapeau américain fait un super paillasson.
world. The U.S. won.
comparing apples and oranges. For a fair comparison you'd have to use U.S. Special Forces, Seals, Rangers, or Delta.
passé quoi à Pearl Harbour déjà? Tas de cons! Vous vivez sur une île! Demande aux Anglais, c'est pas dur à défendre!

ée française a été défaite à cause de son équipement obsolète et d'un haut-commandement incompétent. Les hommes voulaient se battre, mais il y avait un fusil pour 10.

I've been on missions attached to British and Austrailian SAS and they were consummate professionals. I was just saying that you can't compare an Airborne Unit to the SAS and say the SAS are better. That's like comparing a ford taurus to a lamborghini or ferrari.
