If someone deliberately hit me up the arse in the GTR they'd need armour plating. Disgraceful in my opinion and just the sort of thing to wind up the locals.

If thats typical of how the wankers "have to" drive in Iraq, no fucking wonder they're prime targets for hostilities.

Going to play devils advocate here ..... without spending time there ourselves it's hard to comment - I read alot about military history and there seems to be a long running theme - soldiers go somewhere believing they are going to help and make things better - however once in the environment and suffering the day to day stress, reactions as to what is normal and not normal change .... I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't act the same when faced with IED's all day long and sniper fire.

or in the woods with replica guns eh Ben ;)

I think you do have a point but it does make you think about whether we/they should be there liberating them when clearly it isnt helping the situation or largely making it worse in making the reasons for dislike even more evident.

Not on a political campaign here but when a politician tells the intelligence to find prove for this that and the other, then glosses over shortages or disclaimers in that evidence for the sake of making a compelling argument to parliament and convincing the leaders of the other parties through lack of detail.....blah blah blah .... he will face his war trial soon enough :x

anyway - i love the way it barges the bus out of the way :D
