Hello boys,
Heard the news this morning on the radio that Elmer was announcing an end to hostilities "within twelve hours" and my immediate reaction was "have they told the talliban?" The more I thought about it, the more it sounded like a piece of black propaganda. Then on the car radio tonight came the news that most of us have been expecting since January. What a tremendous compliment from Gen Tommy Franks to ask for Four Five Gp. Seems like they have finally admitted that they don’t do mountains! This is not to take anything away from their effort so far. It is a fact that large tanky type stuff is their forte, preferably in vast expanses of desert. Also, I have always thought they don’t do devolution of command very well and this is why their small unit tactics are poor. If you’ve got so much kit it must be difficult not to use it ( hence tee shirts saying Peace Through Superior Firepower )
The decision to ask for the best M+A.W. troops in NATO, if not the world must have been very hard to announce in the face of American public opinion, and it speaks volumes of their opinion of Royal in general. and Four Five in particular. Any cousins reading this, don’t get a hair up your ass, I`m not taking the piss.
Finally, although we are all very proud, please remember the families at Arbroath. The uncertainty of the last few months has been replaced by an even greater one. God bless all of them.
Your thoughts, please members
yours, Aye Harry Hackedoff
