Thursdays Fire Mission (Foxtrot)

Wounded Midland soldier hits out at criticism over Army equipment I wish Lance Corporal Tom Neathway all the best for the future, he is a very brave and determined man, that’s why he was a Para. It is nice to report a soldier that is more than happy with his treatment. But there has also been documented cases where soldiers have died on the battlefield due to lack of helicopter resources.

British public's 'defeatist' attitude is letting down troops in Afghanistan, says Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth Not only did he publicly announce in Parliament that the troops needed more equipment as `Bollocks` now he’s turning on the British public who due to their great generosity donate tens of thousands to Charities like Help For Heroes, to help wounded soldiers due to the Governments lack of funding, spoken like a true socialist.

Royal Navy carrier programme faces 25% cost hike This is all part of the spin to eventual cancellation of the entire project.

Sandstorms, snows and 170 years of conflict (Photo) The head of a Pathan sniper, stalked and killed by Gurkha scouts and then placed on a cairn built on the desolate stretches of the Khyber Pass, was a grim warning to other snipers of their possible fate if they attacked British posts. The Red Robots head would look nice on their as well!

Body of Scottish paratrooper who died in Afghanistan returned to Britain with three comrades also killed in action RIP

Old Soldiers

Two Chelsea Pensioners were sitting outside The Royal Hospital getting a little sunshine. Albert groaned. "I'm so bleedin' full of aches and pains these days, sometimes I can hardly stand. How about you, Cyril, you're about the same age as me, how are you feelin'?"
Cyril replied. "Like a new born baby." Albert was stunned. "Really?"
Cyril said. "Yep, no hair, no teeth and I've just fookin' shat myself."
