oops...1.75-1 kill ratio with a victory over a force of 5 to 1.

Oh wait....nevermind....I'm screwing up the math...no Brittish dead with 35 insurgents killed is 35-0 which can't be calculated in terms of ratio.

took a while to parse the bad journalism:

"British soldiers killed 35 Iraqi attackers in the Army’s first bayonet charge since the Falklands War 22 years ago."


"After radioing for back-up, they fixed bayonets and charged at 100 rebels using tactics learned in drills."

"Despite being outnumbered five to one,"

" they suffered only three minor wounds in the hand-to-hand fighting near the city of Amara. "

Conclusion:

So there were 15 British soldiers against 100 bad guys.
The 15 British soldiers kicked the cr*p out of 100 terrorists, killing 35, capturing 9, and having only minor wounds in response.

RULE BRITTANIA!!!!
