World Armed Forces Pictures & Videos

Re: World Armed Forces Pic Thread

I generally don't post these big pics but this time I will.
I'm very biased when it comes to the Philippines.
I think it is the most beautiful country in the tropics.

Imangine how toxic that water is. If a pregnant woman drank from that she would have a baby with two heads....Yuck!

Look at that mess. And some nations want to buy military hardware from them. ...I saw a show on the Discovery Channel some years ago about how the Russian Navy was in a state of disrepair. Along with very bad morale. That base shown is a toxic waste dump. Dispicable.

Come on Popeye you can't denounce a scrapyard or Russia, I mean it's a scrapyard... it's meant to be dirty, I'm pretty sure if you saw the NYC landfill or even some car scrapyard in the US it would be the same

Maybe. I think most of the ship scrapyards in the US are closed because of enviromental concerns...So most USN ships are sunk as reefs....

So sorry for my insults... But those yards do look really toxic.
