Basra

We took our time with Basra for many reasons. To name a few:

1. British forces had a highly intricate intelligence network at work in Basra.

2. Did not want British casualties to encourage resistance in Baghdad.

3. 1 (UK) Div spearheaded the jump across the border with a USMC MEU that then ...

I don't quite appreciate that kind of attitude. I've put my time in and don't need to go around trying to prove something.

Had a gander at the Blacks website but it didn’t have much in line with what I'm looking for, besides most of em are some lovely bright rainbow colour.

Gonk Sacs

This is one for fellow squaddies and grunts out there. I'm looking into investing in a high speed sleeping bag as I'm tired of humping the issued one round, bloody well takes up most of the bergen.

Hooah!

anglo-saxon, yeah I remember hearing about a Canadian sniper in Afghanistan who was being court marshaled, despite his high performance record, for taking a picture of a dead Taliban player with a "Taliban sucks!" t-shirt on! You lads certainly get corn holed a lot!

Rifle 5.56

Personally I never had any major probs withe the rifle. I think the biggest probs, firing pins breaking and the such are problems that can, and hopefully have been easily sorted out. The basic design of the rifle is sound. If cleaned and kept in good order it is a sterling rifle... but I s'pose that ...
