Technically, yesterday was the 4th anniversary, but whatever.

Here's a hugeass album of pictures I found. The vast majority of them are war pictures and some of them are NSFW (corpses, blood, shooting, etc. But no entrails and stuff like that. I think).

http://imgur.com/a/Tuok8

Discuss what you think about the war.

Edit: I'm looking through these, and it's shocking how many child soldiers there are. There's one with a child no older than 11 with an FAL battle rifle. Another one with an 8-year old carrying a mortar round, then firing the gun. Then there's one with a sleeping rebel soldier with a loaded pistol right beside his head. And he doesn't look any older than his late teens.



Edit 2: Well, after years of following this war, my thoughts are that Syria as a country has been destroyed, and the best solution is partition. The only people who should have the right to rule over the tattered remains of Syria should be the Civil Defense Force (and maybe the YPG/PYD). But neither of them are interested in ruling Syria.



Edit 3: Just found an article containing information about a pre-war plan for a planned district in Damascus which would have looked absolutely gorgeous. It was barely in development once the war started, and by now it's probably a wreck being fought over like many districts right outside of Damascus proper. This article also outlines the terribly corrupt bureaucracy plaguing Syria before the war happened. http://newsfromsyria.com/2008/12/01/the-eighth-gate-of-damascus-is-becoming-reality/ What would have Damascus looked like in 2015 if the war never happened? Think of what it would be like if you could go back to 2008 when this article was published and try to warn those people about what would happen over the next 7 years.

I love it, what an awesome war. So much footage is coming out of there it's crazy. Looks like Call of Duty. Thanks for all the amazing videos, Syria! Can't wait to see what more you can produce! One of my personal favorites is the FSA dude who has his face blown off through a wall from a 30mm round, Elysium style. Metal as FUCK

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
So much destruction so much death. It's awful. A whole generation now have to suffer and live in camps. I still blame Assad, he should have just resigned when the protests started kicking off.

There was this one video I was of a rebel fighter who had his entire lower body blown off asking for some water before he died. And this other one where another rebel fighter blew his entire head off trying to fire off an RPG round. And this other one with a civilian twitching and bleeding out with shards of shrapnel inside of him after a barrel bombing attack.

And I saw that video you were talking about where the guy got his face blown off. It was from a pro-Government channel that ran for a while which played music from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly whenever rebel troopers died in amusing ways. Wasn't just his face by the way. It was literally the front third of his head. You could see his brains.

Seen all of those. And psh yes his face was blown off, brain or no brain doesn't matter. Bad ASS

Also have the ones of a sniper getting a double headshot with one bullet (achievement unlocked), many of tank fights and tanks being destroyed (and one where a crew member with a blown off leg gets out and rolls down the road and is shot), and numerous others. Syria is a war footage gold mine! I hope they keep it up

It's been a stalemate for the past 8 months. But overall, IS is losing.

The Government launched a failed offensive to finally besiege Aleppo last month. In the end, they took some ground in some places, and lost some ground they previously held to rebels in other places.

The Government also launched an offensive to reconnect Deir ez Zor (which has been besieged by IS for the last year) with the rest of Government-held Syria since IS is strategically exhausted around there.

IS has been ceding large amounts of ground in Hasakah Governorate and Kobane Canton to Kurdish forces.

More infighting between Jabhat al-Nusra and other rebel factions in Idlib Governate, so it's very possible that Jabhat al-Nusra is going rogue. Also rumors that al-Nusra may be leaving al-Qaeda.

There was one where there were 3 T-72s parked together (SAA tank tactics are fucking god-awful). An RPG gets one of them really good, and then a screaming inferno came out of every single open hole in the tank. But here's the shocking part. One of the tank crewman got out of there ALIVE! How the fuck did he even do that!? But he ran away to Government lines and he ended up surviving.

Lol don't they know urban brawls with tanks are a bad idea? They're sitting ducks. Anyways yeah I think I know which one you're talking about. If you watch close, you can see that the crew member had started to open the hatch and get out shortly after the RPG hit, and looks more like the inferno blast boosted him out. I doubt he'll see combat again, he likely had incredibly serious burns.

Oh god, the SAA really needs to get their shit together. They send in tanks/IFVs into dense urban areas unprotected and alone, making them perfect bait for Rebel anti-tank missiles/RPGS. They don't bother to destroy their munition and ammo stockpiles if they have to abandon that area, leaving ALL of them to the incoming rebels. This is what happens when you have a poorly trained conscript army.

SAA tank casualties are estimated literally in the thousands.

Lol I'm not surprised. They're all fighting like idiots over there. You got the rebels who blind fire around corners and in the air who believe Allah will guide their bullets to the enemy and SAA have shit tactics. I mean some tactics are better than none, but shit tactics will always be shit regardless.

Are you sure that the SAA even has shit tactics?

Like, they're been going about their preparatory artillery bombardment of Aleppo for the last 3 years, while Soviet doctrine says that artillery should last for 15 minutes at most. The only reason why the SAA is using so much heavy equipment is compensating for the fact that 90% of the soldiers can barely fight. It's just the Republican Guard who are actually good soldiers.
