Re: Afgan or not?
Mikkers as Mortster mentioned the Civil war was against themselves and ok they were on the "winning side" of WW11 but they have never won a conflict with anyone.
They are also the only nation to use all form of weapons.
They took all the glory in Iraq, while we had special units in Iraq 7 months before it kicked off. We also carried out all initial bombing raids (low level night flying ) locking bombs onto all the receivers that special units had placed. Our units were positioned the minute our intel knew something was going on. There covers included motorbike mechanics, telecom engineers and many other trades, all positioned in small towns and scattered over a huge area in Iraq. By night they were planting the receivers in readiness of the night bombing.
The yanks declared to the world media that "Dessert Storm" has started where in reality it was over 7 months old.
I only know this as I was a named referee of a good friend who was being promoted in the RAF. I had a visit from the MOD and an eight hour chat. It was that guy that told me the aforementioned.
