@TIGREDELAIRE you seem to turn many military photo posts into a caption competition?

I respectfully request you cease and desist, although creating a thread for that purpose might be a good idea and would attract people with an interest in the same but those without can stay clear.
Personally I prefer more realistic discussion about the subject matter, don't take that as me not having a sense of humour though just think it would be better served in its own thread
