Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!

Fist day back?
We’ll take any form of Lex Light we can get sir.
Even women with guns. And some with… ahem… a distinct lack of clothing. Actually that video wasn’t half bad. Maybe it was the music. Or maybe it was cuz you linked it. Yeah, I know, pathetic I am.
Good to have you back, sir.
Psst, Lex Babes, anybody got anthing to link here?
1) Whoever made that video made the pics go by way too fast. I got tired of play-pause-play-pause…
2) “Action Pleat” Does that mean what I think it means?
Sheesh, that cameraman would be a lot less conspicuous if he would just put mirrors on his shoes!
To paraphrase a good friend of mine… “I think I joined the wrong Army.”
Yikes! Spindly high heels and marching!?!?1!?
Are they nuts??!!1!?
How many broken ankles do you think they have in a year with that get up?
(PS Sorry Michelle, no linky-love today…)
Michelle – ask and yea shall receive. For the Lex Babes (pardon the music, it is a bit much). But the visuals…ahhhh.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQpC-x-nJ9I
I’ll take what I get…and Lex, you on a laid back, casual kinda day, is 1000% better than most anything else out there in the ‘Net.
Glad to see you back, sir. I’m grateful for whatever gems you have time to share with us.
Being a photo-j, like the guy in the lower right, does certainly get you some nice assignments to cover once in a while…
Kris ~ when you deliver, you deliver!
Holy smokes! Should have a NSFW tag for my workpace!
Sorry P-3W: didn’t think about the NSFW warning. I’m at home today, starting my vacation, and it just didn’t cross my mind. Then again, had I been at work I never could have seen the video, YouTube being banned there for some odd reason. Can’t figure out why…
Kris!
I thought this was a family blog… of PG 13 or something like that!
Well, I guess there’s pr0n and then there’s pr0n… Now if you put those bad boys in with the plane pron from TFD… Okay, I think I am just about ready to forgive you for that other little incident. We’re just about even now…as long as I don’t think too much about that other thing.
*sigh*
And no, Snake, don’t even think about it! [ICSWFTH]
War is indeed hell.
My compliments to the military genius who decided to uniform female Croatian army personnel in this fashion. I mean, think about it: any enemy stupid enough to mess with a woman who can march in those heels and skirts is just asking for a whoopin’.
Genius. Pure genius.
It would seem that Lex’s priorities are well adjusted after that break!
Now I know why President Clinton had us deploy to the Balkans.
Sign me up for another tour! I’ll buy the first keg.
Somebody please give the the countermarch command… That’s got to be neat to watch with those heels…
Kris ~ dang. That made my day.
And can someone clue me in to what “ICSWFTH” means? Please?
True, that’s a pretty amped-up video. But my mind must be seriously twisted, as all I could think about (other than noting that there was a certain artistic beauty) was: So, how many of those utterly hairless, oiled up pretty boys are gay?
I mean, how many men would sit there while a woman applies lipstick to their lips with a tiny little brush so that they can go out and pose among silk sheets and blowing curtains, and any “character” in them can be airbrushed out? I couldn’t help but hear the guffaws from 95% of the men in my life.
Those pretty boys could probably hold my attention for about five seconds in person (and vice-versa, frankly).
So, I headed off to find something that more suited my tastes. Sadly, a quick perusal of YouTube couldn’t turn up what I had in mind. However, I did find this, and figured it wouldn’t go to waste with all the Lex Lugs around…
Aw, FbL, you took all the fun out of it. But I did say we needed to pair those boys up with the plane pron on TFD, didn’t I? Funny, somehow I missed the guy geting the lipstick applied … must have been otherwise occupied.
You IFD vid was nice though, if a little long. And I’m sure the Lex Lugs, poor put-upon souls that they are (NOT!), appreciated it.
IDF… IFD…
Sorry, my attention must have been elsewhere again!
Nice Tuna!
Lex- you stay true to form. Was wondering if this would show up. Glad you are back.
Lex, do I earn bonus cool points by personally knowing some of the US Soldiers in Rusty’s slideshow?
Oh yes, very MajMike.
MajMike- better not be in the Biblical sense!
If those are the new combat utilities, conflicts should be on the wane soon…or, it’s images like this that led some to the Gates of Vienna…
In the video, was that one tongue stud/piercing regulation..? Just asking…
i’ll drop you a note offline with postive IDs.
Wow!!!
