Present Arms.

Just saying what I heard.

I'm all good, I'm going into the TA very soon. Which I am looking forward to, I've been out of it for too long.

Didn't they only have one radio? Which didn't work.

How are you these days? I trust all is well.

Based on what?

Depending on the base you don't even have to get out of sight to get shot at. As you say we go into ambushes willingly because it commits more enemies, more often than other methods available at our small unit level (excluding a few rare examples). They have the initiative but then we are very...

Damn good shooting. (And claymore placing, grenade throwing and stabbing). I expect to see plenty more of this kind of performance. There is always a feeling of satisfaction when you ambush the Taliban, giving 'em a taste of their own medicine. With better results than their ambushes by far...

We didn't have any real trouble with our vehicles in Iraq or Afghanistan, although we didn't use them nearly as much in the Stan. Mechanical trouble that is, we can't always be lucky.

So do you also support genocide of white people? Actually here is a question, where do your loyalties lie? You obviously hate the Government of India (all parties) and think the people are 'children unfit to vote', so where do your loyalties lie?

Where does it say how to achieve nuclear superiority? All it is is the ravings of a racist madman (I challenge you to disprove this) over how the CIA controls RAW and the Indian Government and how India should try and achieve nuclear superiority. So as to control the world (he wants military...

The heat can be a killer, when weighed down with all your kit, armour and every other piece of crap you carry. Which would be enough itself before you add in 'whites of their eyes' ambushes, suicide bombers of all varieties, mines and IED's. Makes Arctic warfare training seem desirable...

I hope they achieve it, I doubt it but I hope they do all the same.

Aside from the fact that this is all BS, funny BS but still BS, the so called 'article' does not even say how India could get this 'nuclear superiority' over the US. And yes before you ask I am in the evil grips of CIA-RAW, we have nice discussions on how to bring India under US control and...

Right now it is a war for your national survival, why should the Americans have to pay you to fight for that?

You should see it in the winter, not the nicest of places to look at at times. You may have some of the nicer scenery but you also get some of the horrible terrain to work in that goes with it. The work those soldiers are doing out in some very harsh areas really does earn my admiration...

It is in parts, in others it just looks... dirty I suppose would be the best word to describe it.

It wouldn't be that hard to burn a lot of the poppy fields if we were told to, but we are told not to by the powers that be. Probably because we could kiss what cooperation we get from the locals goodbye if we went and destroyed their livelihood. In those areas of Helmand where the fields were...

It all depends on the engagement. The 5.56 quite often does not put them down first shot every time at the kind of ranges that we often engage at but it certainly does when you put a few more in the same target in quick succession. The joy of being able to re-aim very quickly and put more...

The Mig 29 has better manoeuvrability at very low speeds, above those very low speeds it gets more even. F16's and F15's (at least the US's ones) use better HMS and WVR missiles than the 29's these days anyway. The R-77 reportedly has longer absolute range than older versions of the AMRAAM, but...
