Free Syrian Army captures a tank and finds some spam - General

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyNHM35mI0k[/media] Apparently the food was found in the tank they captured.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;36282687]not very noteworthy, makes sense that a tank crew that would operate for a long time in the tank would have non-perishable food[/QUOTE] Just thought it was odd that they were more excited about the food than the tank.

Better question: Is the tank even operational? I can't imagine even a half-decent tank crew would abandon their vehicle without first sabotaging it somehow.

[QUOTE=imptastick;36282702]Just thought it was odd that they were more excited about the food than the tank.[/QUOTE] You can't eat a tank. An army fights on its stomach. These guys are probably not very well fed right now, food is more valuable than some giant hunk of metal none of them are probably trained to operate.

I was already expecting a million cries of "Allah Ackbar", I mean seriously I get they're Islamic but do they need to repeat that so much, how does that not get annoying to any of them.

[QUOTE=Drax-Quin;36291243]I was already expecting a million cries of "Allah Ackbar", I mean seriously I get they're Islamic but do they need to repeat that so much, how does that not get annoying to any of them.[/QUOTE] How does saying "oh my god" not get annoying to us? It's like how people say "Insha'Allah" all the time. These are artifacts of the language, religion, and culture. It's easier to hear it and be annoyed by it when you don't speak the language. It's like how if I hear anything in Japanese, I hear the word "desu" all the time and it annoys the shit out of me. It's the only word I know and recognize well, so it sticks out.

[QUOTE=SnakeHead;36292772]"Oh my god" actually does get annoying if you hear someone repeat it every second.[/QUOTE] It's still very common for people to repeatedly say "oh my god" or "fuck".

What kinda shitty tank is that

[QUOTE=imptastick;36282702]Just thought it was odd that they were more excited about the food than the tank.[/QUOTE] Tanks aren't very effective for rebel armies. They need a lot of fuel and the shells aren't easy to come across.

[QUOTE=Jmir 54;36294294]What kinda shitty tank is that[/QUOTE] Looks like a T-55. [img]http://www.4wdonline.com/Mil/Tanks/PiCs37/T55a.jpg[/img]

if its spam or a spam off shoot its against their islamic halal law bullshit because pork is satans meat / american pig dog meat

[QUOTE=W0w00t;36294534]if its spam or a spam off shoot its against their islamic halal law bullshit because pork is satans meat / american pig dog meat[/QUOTE] Since they found it in Syria it is probably a kosher alternative.
