| Was that a real Jeep? Granted, its a poor picture, but there seems to be no depth to the grill, like its a mockup. |

That picture makes me frown every time I see it.
However, I hold to the hope that it is fake. It does look like someone pasted a pixelated image of a tank on a drawn crushed MD.

Isn't that an Isralie letter next to the number on
the mud flap of the tank?

| from the looks of the pic no real jeep was harmed. It just doesnt look right, and the colors are off, shape seems strange as well. |

I checked "Hebrew Alphabet" on Google and I believe
that symbol is for "Alef" and it makes me wonder if
the Cimmerians are active over there.

Their websites says: "The Cimmerians is a non-profit group organized for the purpose of performing Mil-Sim [Military Simulatoin - realistic historical combat re-enactment], and educating the public about military history using Airsoft field equipment". They are in San Francisco, CA.
I doubt we are in any real danger or threat from this group.
