Just saw on the news that British troops are engaged in combat with the Taliban forces. Has anyone else heard anything? How is it that the British Army is the first to go in?
Will some of Mr. Blairs constituents please enlighten me!

Why ? because our forces are the best, they will have been there for some days now.
My thanks! We'll be there soon!
Hooray! Pity the poor starving people.
I guarantee that because of the fact we'll be used for mopping up the ratio of Brits dead compared to Americans will be much higher. Isn't it lovely to know that having better trained troops also means Ironically that ours are bound to die sooner. Unless of course the Americans crash a helicopter during training....we'll wait and see.
The USA specialises in hit-and-run, mostly using helicopters. Get in there without being seen or heard, blow shit up, and try to get out. Becuase they don't go far on foot, their physical strength is mainly upper-body.
The UK, especially the SAS, adopt a "live-in" strategy. SAS teams will tab it from A to B rather than relying on any MT. Their overall fitness is much greater as a result. Plus, being proportionally smaller, they're more elite.
If any of the above posters even thought about going to Afghanistan to fight theyd need to be wearing brown trousers.
At least two of the above posters have been in the army and have more right to comment on this than you will ever have.
Secondly, everything said on this thread can be found in todays papers. Perfectly normal to be discussing military issues when we are on the brink of WW3.
Stop trying to stir up trouble.
If you wanted to really hit the Taliban and Al-Quaida you would need to hit their masters.Why bother with the monkey when the organ grinders standing next to it?
Step forward Saudi Arabia and Pakistan!
Theyve bankrolled them since day one for their own ends with weapons training and intelligence.
But this is all under wraps because both countries are US allies and Afghanistan is going to have to pay instead.
Have you ever wondered what threats have been issued to Pakistan which has made them turn against a fond friend?

Is this the innocent starving Afgans or the greedy West
I'm confused - my head is hurting .....aaaaarrrggghhh
Its not a hard thread to follow. If you read the post by soapbarbpy you will see that he said that the real villains behind all this are Saudi and Pakistan.Thats they 'THEY' BHH is referring to I believe.
