My favourite bit:
Before they said goodbye to the Brits, they did one more thing. They renamed the Intimidator the USA/UK.

I liked that story....
This one also made me chuckle as an Ex-smoker, I also like a Tab every now and again and can just imagine how pi55ed these guys must be.

I am pleased to read an article here about US/UK co-operation.I have read too much criticism of our combined efforts.I appreciate the good will that exists and would like to see more of it.I know it's there.

I was browsing the Leatherneck.com website over the weekend and they have listed their Gulf War II KIA with a photo of each of them, where they are from, their unit, and how they were killed.
The list went on and on, and I was really shocked when I added them up, as it was well above what I expected. Before reading further, what is your guess for the number of US Marine Corps guys KIA in Iraq?

The answer is 61!
May they rest in peace, their job done.
