Wednesdays Fire Mission
If you live in the UK and you care about our Forces and the shoddy way they have been treated in the past, the most recent being Wetherspoons refusal to accept military ID cards then please sign this petition Here
Home Offers Retreat for Injured Troops A big thank you to Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association (SSAFA) they do a sterling job in helping our boys and girls who have fought for their Country. The sad thing is in a modern rich Country like ours these Heroes should not have to rely upon Charity, the very same Government that sent these young men into harms way should foot the bill.
60th Anniversary of WRAC Happy anniversary WRAC and just think in those day they all wore stockings!
DUP Speaker in Gerry Adams IRA Row Gerry Adams was a senior IRA member, if Im correct least Martin McGuiness had the guts to admit he was a member.

Royal Navy destroyer's era ends Another Falklands veteran hit’s the scrap yard, I suppose we all have a shelf life, even the Labour Party!
MP in Pakistan nuclear warning I think its just over simplification for Sir Peter Tapsell to just say , lets all come home and everything will be hunky dory. I wish this was the case. Does he think the Taliban would all pack up and go home if the West left?
40 Commando Royal Marines in beach assault from HMS Ocean Marines just love hitting the beaches, they better make the most of it when they are sent to the land locked Country of Afghanistan.
RAF's latest eye in the Afghan sky is a success Good we like the word success.
Obama reviewing Bush ban on photos of military coffins I personally get tearful when I see a coffin draped with the Union flag on TV, but my reason for this is an emotional one. From a political point of view I can see why some politicians might not want the general public seeing the dead come home. During the Falklands war the badly wounded were shielded from the media.
US Navy SEALs buy twin-screen laptops, refuse Vista And I thought a Chinagraph pencil was cool when I was a squaddy!
Suicide car bomb kills four US soldiers in Iraq With the news being full of Afghanistan its easy to forget that our forces are still being killed in Iraq, RIP.
US military develops anti-aircraft laser Wow this new kit makes our Rapiers from the Falklands look like an old Bofors gun.
Spain says it has no plans to send more troops to Afghanistan, despite US requests The miserly 800 Spanish troops are just a token gesture and just hide in the rear like little girls and let the real men do the fighting. Only joking Spain thanks for your help no matter how small its apreaciated .
