I love Russians!
Quote from Fox News: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,405963,00.html

Also Tuesday, Russian soldiers took about 20 Georgian troops prisoner at a key Black Sea port in western Georgia, blindfolding them and holding them at gunpoint, and commandeered American Humvees awaiting shipment back to the United States.

POTI, Georgia - Russian soldiers held blindfolded Georgian servicemen at gunpoint on top of military vehicles Tuesday and commandeered U.S. Humvees in the key Black Sea port of Poti.
IMO this is an act of war and should be treated as such!

We are not at war with Russia and therefor they do not have the right to capture any US assets in any way!

This is Piracy at its best by the Russian government and it is BS!





This is my tax money being stolen!

There are 3 problems with your train of though. One, you got your information from Fox News. Two, not all Humvees are military. Three, it is a common tactic for saboteurs and commandos to procure equipment as necessary during times of war and is not forbidden under the Geneva Convention or the Hague Protocol and therefore, it's fair game.

Also, if you're such a bad ***, feel free to go take care of them. Just for kicks, let us know what military units that you've served with.

Cool it, Yosemite Sam. You're getting all riled up over something that's none of our business. For all we know, those Humvees were gifts to the Georgian government, and they're only being sent back because they didn't use them.

We stick our hand it Russia's cookie jar, and we're going to get bit. Georgia and their damned pipeline aren't worth nuclear war. NATO, the UN, the WTO, and other humanitarian services need to step up and do something. Remember the last time we decided to act upon a foreign country alone? Yeah...

Also, I want to know where you got that this country was a "boat-load of cowards?"

Like a lot of tough guy, right wingers, you seem to have disappeared when things got a little tough for you. Where did you run off to?

Vehicles are rarely shipped with the radios in them. If they are, the important part, the crypto fill isn't loaded into them until the operators have a chance to catch up to them. The radios aren't anything fancy, it's the firmware that they use that makes them so special.
