El_Chacho Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Thanks for the link.I'm in the office right now and can't activate the sound of the video. I don't like the line of thought of the Youtube poster or the people who commented there, though.The US Marine Corps fight not with what they want but with what is given to them.The pass through Nasiriyah was planned months before its execution. There was no way to bypass Nasiriyah without compromising the momentum required for the operation. Did the poster at Youtube even cared to check how tight the timetable for the Marines advance was?The bog-downs were at an open sewer at the east of Nasiriyah, not on the main road as shown in the video.For a detailed description of the events that happened in Nasiriyah, please read "Ambush Alley" or "Marines in the Garden of Eden".Cheers,EDIT: I just saw the main page for the channel of the youtube video poster. Nevermind ...:heu: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GH_Lieste Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Sparky, or one of his nutjob followers. There are a lot of youtube videos posted in order to 'prove' that the M113 is the answer to God's Prayers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackworth Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 if it makes you feel better Daskal, the commander of the 2nd RCT was canned for losing his momentum there. El Chacho, never fear. Civilians tend to be idiots about anything involving military matters. they don't understand anything about planning or carrying out operations, logistics, etc. yea, i bet that guy refers to the M113 as the "Gavin" insulting one of my favorite generals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mogwa Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 This guy is a either Sparky himself or another sparky-ist. His links in the descriptions go to sights full of improbable military theory and m-113 "gavinist" hype. What a dumb arse. After reading the descriptions and the comments of his lackeys(i presume thinking replys were deleted) i decided to forgo the vids.Mog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Yes, nomorenarcissism is one of Sparky's many pseudo names. I passed on the vid too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt_Anzac Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Apart from being posted by sparky, i fond the vid realy good. from the look of it a discovery documentary. just dont read his rant in the coments for the vid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackworth Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Huh?just saying that was the commander's compensation for the FUBAR...walking papers. probably had to retire shortly after since he was a colonel. How do you make one star when you were relieved of command? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEpi Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) Nothing to see there, really. Mishaps, wrong turn, and ambush, and idiots commenting according to their C&C experience.I know I haven't been around for a while, but WTF is Sparky, and what's his story?

Mogwa Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Well, how do i put this? Hes a nut job. He has a hard on for M-113s and has mounted a campaign to have the M-113 named the "Gavin". Best thing to do is check out this link, it has a brief summary of sparky in the second section.http://home.comcast.net/~genericdad/m113gavin.htmlMog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEpi Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 So, he's the #1 armored mega-troll. nice!At some point I was thinking about registering as TheGavin as a joke, but I guess it will irritate too many people that were already exposed to lethal levels of BullSparky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted May 8, 2009 Members Share Posted May 8, 2009 Sparky also has a night time job as a TankNet punching ball. In the past the problem was that there was at least now and then a grain of truth in some of his suggestions, but he's become less and less connected to reality over the past three or four years. In the past some have categorized him as a mere troll - I doubt that most who know him today would be so kind in their judgement anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rump Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Maybe ESim can create a SB version where every vehicle, blue and red, is a M113.And call it SB Gavin...-Rump 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted May 8, 2009 Members Share Posted May 8, 2009 I have no interest in furthering that thought, or in the continuation of any Sparky debate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacbat Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Come to think, SB does have quite a few varients of the M113 in game... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuikovChambered Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 ...Of which I wish more were playable, like the M113 TOW. Imagine the party Greevil would have if he had a fully playable M113 TOW...:gun::men_ani::1: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
