B.P.R 2,798 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 You should know All the fighting has been done the past 10 years or so...these last 12 months onwards are 'stabilisation' and withdrawing. Patrols still need to be done and ofcourse checkpoints etc...just theyre scaled down and all focussed on handing back to the ANA and ANP. i was there in 2008 and 2010 and proud to say i done the 'fighting'... But looking back.... Its worth feck all now...nobody thanks you for it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B.P.R 2,798 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Its not a job out there.... its a way of life.... Like i said the fighting has finished.... Its all ok being 'gung ho' when your in training.... But the reality of it.... is there is nothing good about dealing with them smelly cnuts on a daily basis and watching people lose legs to'the cause' .... Out of curiosity...what trade are you in?

Born Hunter 17,751 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) I was about to say the same scot, but lost my bottle for the sake of an easy life, lol. Also, do we treat rats (or any number of other animals) any differently? I mean we see dogs as pets, as companions, the muslims don't................. so that makes them bad or just different to us? It's a different culture, one I have no care for, but I just see this as possibly a bit hypocritical. Edited April 5, 2013 by Born Hunter 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
