Sabrejet Posted July 23, 2012 Share #1 Posted July 23, 2012 Anyone thinking about starting a Taliban reenactment group? (There's always a need for targets!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack's Son Posted July 23, 2012 Share #2 Posted July 23, 2012 Ian, you had to have talked to him. What was his story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted July 23, 2012 He spat at me and called me an "Infidel"....so I let the air out of his tires and threw a pork-chop at him!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack's Son Posted July 23, 2012 Share #4 Posted July 23, 2012 Air out of the tires, is fine. But don't waste a good chop on him!!!! :w00t: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VALERY Posted July 23, 2012 Share #5 Posted July 23, 2012 Hi, I think they were two : I've seen an other guy with an AK chest rig, wearing a jalaba not really at ease when the pakistanese food sellers laugh at him ! Cheers V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old-Soul Posted July 23, 2012 Share #7 Posted July 23, 2012 Taliban or SF playing at Taliban? (Or, in this case, someone playing at SF playing at Taliban as it were) You'd be hard pressed to find a 'ban with such a nice pickup after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willysmb44 Posted July 23, 2012 Share #12 Posted July 23, 2012 Wow, that guy has big brass ones for that impression. ...are they holding hands? If so, it's culturally normal in many places for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmfa314 Posted July 24, 2012 Share #13 Posted July 24, 2012 Ahhh but was it really an impression? or was this just a chance to show off who they actually are without raising red flags? Now throwing a pork chop at him was really bad taste, an opened omelette with ham MRE pouch would have been so much more appropriate mack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoovieDude Posted July 24, 2012 Share #19 Posted July 24, 2012 If so, it's culturally normal in many places for them. I lost count of the hands I've held in Iraq and Africa. It is a show of respect and trust from the senior party. When I was a COIN instructor, I would love finding the most homo-phobic guy in the class, and using him as an example of the mHand hold, cheek kissing!! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panzerbait Posted July 24, 2012 Share #22 Posted July 24, 2012 It may be a bit odd...but if WW2 re-enacting had become popular right after the end of WW2 you can imagine the eyebrows that would be raised when the Waffen-SS re-enactors would be on display. These guys are just ahead of the curve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys are just ahead of the curve! Hi All, I was right opposite this crowd at Beltring/War and Peace Show and to be honest, Me and my friends, some ex servicemen, were uncomfortable with people portraying Taliban/special forces in Afganistan. Allied soldiers are being killed almost daily and portraying it showed a complete lack of respect to those who have died and more so to their loved ones who could have been at the show. Re-enacting is walking a fine line and this overstepped it. If the press had got hold of this they would have a field day! They moan about German SS re-enactors so portraying a current war, especially Taliban, would do nothing but harm to the re-enacting movement, whatever era portrayed.

Johnny Signor Posted September 25, 2012 Share #25 Posted September 25, 2012 They should try and find these guys phone numbers and annonimously call them and "Suggest" they try "something" better next time , I'm sure if the right person(military) had come along and seen them , they may have been jumped and shall we say "Helped" to the on site infirmary .........................................
