Sucks, sucks to report those kind things too I'm sure. We just had to read it, imagine the guy writing it...

the guy writing it?

What about the rest of the soldiers who literally had to pick up the pieces?

PULL THE BRITISH ARMY THE FUCK OUT!!!!  

 Let the Yanks walk over mines and their fucking vehicles set off the IEDs


Hang on a second...I thought the ghan was supported! It's the war on the ACTUAL terrorists! Why the opposition.

You guys sound like you need some quality Australian Bushmasters that are far better suited to withstanding IED's than Humvees. Buy some off us!



I agree, but it's not humvees thata re the problem, American vehicles are fine now, with the panther etc.

It's the British snatch that's a problem, hence SAS officers resigning.

do they let non-citizens join or something

Gurkhas, Jamaicans, Africans, Irish, etc. and loads of commonwealth join.

Yeah, they take a lot of non citizens.

Theres a whole Gurkha regiment. They're cool as fuck, theyve won more Victoria crosses than any other regiment, and they flock to join the British Army.


Loyal and hard as fuck the gurkhas are. Seconded.

i mean, it would be better if they served the country they loved and also didn't die, but you know what i mean

a lot of British soldiers aren't actually British....

OK this might seem mean, but its not if you think about it. 128 people dead since that we been over there, but how many people die on the roads a year. about 4 times the amount of the people that been killed at war..  
anyways its still sad about that =[

what has that got to do with this.

This is still a tragedy.

Don't be so fucking ridiculous. We can't just abandon the Afghanistan effort, just like that.

We have got a disproportionate number of troops out there though. The US/other NATO countries need to start pulling their weight.
