If you've been watching movies like Saving Private Ryan, or shows like Band of Brothers, or watching some of the recent movies that have come out of the US experience in Iraq (documentaries like Gunners Palace), you may see US troops using hand and arm signals.

Well, to make things easier for you, here is a guide to what they mean. I'm sure Eutrusca already knows all of these already.

If you're close enough to see any of those hand signals, you're flying way too low. Probably off your run-in heading, too.

Or you're in a helicopter -- just as bad.

Now I don't see anything...

If only they were bigger. I'd have fun doing my own captions for them.

You don't need to read them, just follow it from left to right as a new dance.

I can't even do that, as the picture has the annoying knack of disappearing for some reason. It's gone again now.

There's a linky now, and I'm not sure what to make off this.
Some of them have got to be joking, but the others (if they are jokes) have apparently transcended to a level of humor that mere human intelligence cannot yet grasp.

I shouldn't tell you this, but it says "Image linking verboten" and is a picture of fat, naked, hairy guys, who appear to be homosexual, in an outdoor jacuzzi. I distinctly see very shrivelled peenage in the picture, as well.

You probably have to join some exclusive Swedish club where they replace random cartoon images with naked people sitting in jacuzzis.
