DEERMAN 1,018 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 My old fella was a para,and as he used to say to folk,'if you wern't there when the shit was flying dont make judgements'. If you've never looked down the barrel of your weapon and had to make a split second decision as to whether the bloke approaching you is friendly or enemey,dont make judgements. We fought for ourselves and our mates,for pride and integrity of our regiment,we believed in what we were doing and we gave our all,some paid the ultimate price'.He was a skinny bloke my old fella,didnt look much,not one of these big macho fuckers. But he wiped the floor with a few who knocked what he stood for and believed in. He would say 'if you didnt do that stuff dont comment on it'. ' you dont understand it and you never will' waht batt was he in 1, 2 or 3 para and how long ago mate? Link to post Share on other sites

dai dogs 1,395 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) just got an email from my son. he says helecopters are an issue they seem to be relying on the american pilots a lot. because some (not all) of the british pilots are to chicken shit to help the guys on the ground. one american pilot was called in to extract one of our guys who had his leg blown off. the british pilot wouldnt go into HLS which is an area when bullets are flying eveywhere around the landing site. so the american pilot went in rescued the casualty took off with bullet holes in the side of the helicopter and windscreen. then opened fire killing a few taliban.. the american pilot was female.

kennyboy 1 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) Anyone wonder why our troops are suddenly getting hammered? Well i'll tell you. The American public are pissed because of the amount of their guys coming home in a body bag. So Gordon sacrifices our soldiers to appease the Americans. He sends our troops in without proper support and the body count mounts. The British army have fought terrorist for the last 60 years. Here in Ireland the Brits cut their teeth. The I.R.A. respect the British. Now the Brit government are nothing but traitors. It's about time you, the british, stand up and be counted. Take back your honorable nation. As the Japanese call us 'The country of Heroes'. REVOLT! Stand up and be counted! REVOLT! This is OUR country. The politicians work for us! Take to the streets! REVOLT! Get mad! Get even! Get our Green and pleasent land! REVOLT! It,s Fools like you that get my blood boiling with stupid remarks about ireland 60 years read your history you bampot.and by the way i had three brouthers in the british army Explain. Stupid remarks? I've lived our History on the streets of Belfast. Where you there on Bloody Friday? My DA was! He never forgot scraping peoples remains off the street! You Brits have never experienced real terror. Sorry I forgot your Scotish. Which one is free? Not you scot b*****ds. Edited July 30, 2009 by kennyboy Link to post Share on other sites
