That would show you up as being a casual. You have to choose the correct uniform for the weaponry you are using and dress appropriately. If you don't take it seriously you might hurt their feelings.

Falconers first into action is great. Don camsell’s black water is decent and shorter too.

Both did stints with 14 int.

Soldiers of misfortune would more likely be my read I met a few old yanks in places like soi cowboy, pattaya and other parts of SEA in the 1990's who had never went back home after Vietnam, always wondered their stories. 

My sis, bit of a traveller, married into a family, her sister in laws first husband was supposedly a German businessman, went missing on a business trip abroad, never seen again, I remember looking in his office and finding a pile of SOF mags and a bookcase full of Jane's weapons directories,.

I love digging further into things but unfortunately I can never remember the facts just the reason why I’d really love to sit down with my “university educated” cousins and learn how to study something properly 

but after American gangster and the use of heroin and opium by service men I dived into looking at that and the figure they had for men coming home with a problem/habit was massive whether or not those numbers were genuine it was interesting all the same 

 

now that’s flicked the switch all be back at it in the morning

Sometimes the reason is all you need.
