Umm Qazr

This is really moving on from, and with reference to some of the posts in The Battle For Basra. Saw the lads from 40 this morning on Sky advancing to contact. According to the journo they were encountering "small pockets of enemy resistance". Mmm, where have I heard that phrase before? The...

I may have officially "retired" 10 years ago but I'm neither an ex-Marine or a former Marine - I am still a Royal Marine, just no longer serving, after all the Queen still pays me every month I just don't have to turn to or wear a uniform any more. Even if I hadn't stayed in till pension, ...
