You think the rest of the Afghan is a picnic do you?[/QUOTE]Originally Posted by British-Conservatism
There have been people like that in the Army since it began. Did you not educate yourself that thousands of British men went awol in World War I and who could blame them after seeing what they saw? Being scared doesn't mean you are weak willed and not fit for the Army, it's natural. However those people should not be in the Army full stop.
Of course not, but Helmand is the worst province by far, just like Basra was the worst province. The Americans for a superior nation as it and moronic anti-British Britons like yourself say, it sure as hell likes taking the easier options and objectives whilst managing to lose twice as many troops as the British Army.
Yeah those Americans. They're superior alright.
You're a disgrace mate and without sounding rude, It's people like you who should have died in Iraq, not the fantastic soldiers who love their country. You are a national disgrace and should be treated as a second class citizen.
No it's people like you who need to be sent to Iraq and Afghanistan as you support the wars there.
I agree. I would love to go out there.
Then go sign up.
I have a heart condition and cannot sign up. I tried several years ago and they were having none of it. I would be a liability in the Army, so I can understand why they refused me.
What a good excuse for the arm chair soldier.
Who gives a toss if they complete a training exercise? The 101st US Airborne DIVISION has been fighting in Baghdad these last five years whilst the Paras have been hiding in Basra Airport cutting deals with the local gangstas along with the rest of the British Army.That still doesn't explain why the US Paras cannot manage to complete British Pre-Parachute training?
I don't buy into what you are saying, so bore off.
Britain is superior to any other nation including the United States who seem to enjoy losing thousands of troops in places like Afghanistan and Iraq.
The Americans lose more soldiers because:
A. They've got twenty times more fighting.
B. They do fight rather than play tea Party's with the local militias.
immanentize the eschaton!
If you say so. I await to hear about your tails of serving on operations in Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Pure lies. They lose more soldiers because they are inferior.
They don't "love their country", most can't wait to get out and sign up as mecenaries for Big Oil in Iraq because they pay more. Lets be real, no-one in their right mind signs up " to fight for their country", that's not what the UK military do. There are good reasons to sign up, but patriotism isn't one of them.
If they loved their country so badly they'd be back here fighting it's real enemies and not playing action man kiss chase with a load of mountain goats in Central Asia.
I don't like it but that is the way it is and I'm not going to pretend it not just to conform to the latest outbreak of senseless militarist jingoism. Our military is a joke, like some tragic disabled kid mascot of the US Army.
immanentize the eschaton!
