It only bears repeating if you're an ignorant flid.
Read up Michael Yon's dispatches from his time with 4 Rifles. Read up on Operation Arezzo. The Iraqis in Basra wouldn't be fighting today without the British MiTTs and embeds, and five years of mentoring and combined ops. Or do you think the Iraqi army just worked it all out for themselves?
Same MO in Afghanistan. Afghan artillery fighting alongside NATO forces in combined ops. How did that happen? Was it magic? Or was it the result of scrupulously careful formation by British forces?
The British have been training local forces to fight for themselves as far back as the Chindits. It's their country remember.
The ‘their’ in ‘It’s their country’ means ‘The locals who make up the bulk of British-trained local forces’.
Woeful grammar confusion, sorry.
I sometimes wonder what exactly it would take for the Brits and their homers to realize that their softly softly approach in Basra was a mistake. According to your post, apprarently nothing.
Yet another cheer leader for the British failure in Iraq. They were routinely humiliated in Basra and on the waters of the gulf by the Iranians and their allies.
Germany had the Italians, and we have the British.
