British chopper down in Iraq.
Moderators: Guru's, The Ministry
Im with you there. Authough i will say one thing. The British troops should be given the ability to open fire on anyone who poses a threat. Authough this sounds pretty obvious, and is probably in place, i mean ANYONE. Stone throwing obvioulsy isnt punishable by death, but a few shots toward thier feet would so the trick. Same with the petrol bombs, unless they are directed at an individual.DaveB wrote:I was going to comment on that quote but can't bring myself to say anything PC so I won't.
Ill shut up now.
during the latter part of the 1800's british troops were in the former middle east. to say it was said the country is full of flies and sand and not worth the effort. so they left battered and brused.
so here we are doing as the soft ***** puppit blair doing the dirty work of the americans under the dirrection of the yanks who could not fight there way out of a wet paperbag. so called super power that were kicked out of vietnam . As an x service man i feel for what the so called top brass are doing with our lads and lasses. ( first world war saying, lions lead by donkeys. how true.
over here in canada all hell has let lose because they are now losing their lads. the goverment has put a blanket ban on all displays of returning coffins. the general public and service families sore red and made it clear that was not wanted. president ops sorry priminister harper has not relented and continue with the american instuctions. watch this space the anti christ president bush has his sites on iran, first to nuke then steal the oil. this whole problem stems from the white house. i could say more but i dont want to be band from this forum of good decent chaps and lasses. so chin up and i'll see you buzzing the skies.

OBO of the rather large American contigent here please lock this thread
Comment such as that (whilst containing some truth) do nothing to keep
the tone of the Forum up. Yes it happens , Yes we are all very annoyed by it
However to let this devolve in to name calling political thread does NOTHING
for those killed and injured in times of war.
BTW Mr Balmer as your new to the forum may I direct you to the E&S
content thread and suggest you read it throughly before shooting from
the hip

This is a flightsim/aviation Forum
In the E&S other things can be discussed
However deep political arguement in my opinion has no place here
I have not replied to any of the above because I have views but feel this is not the place.
So perhaps this can end here before it goes too far and gets out of hand.
Thanks
Garry

Read and understood.
Feelings on this sort of thing go pretty deep, especially as many members here are either serving or ex servicemen regardless of nationality. I'm certain that all of the guys out there have their own ideas on what should be done but it serves no purpose for us to debate it here.
Reports are still unclear as to how many were lost in the attack but it is certain that the attack brought yet more fatalities. Our thoughts go to the families involved.
I will lock the thread at this point and thank Steve for the HU in posting it
