To: My Favorite Headache

One thing is becoming clear about the insurgents there:

There may be alot of them, and they may be crazy, but they sure as hell can't shoot and they apparently can't fight worth a damn, either.

But must say they are good at dying. I guess if we had lives as miserable as they have we wouldn't place much value on them either.

Actually, I read recently (and yes, I'm fumbling around for the source in a stack of books) that this type of result wouldn't be surprising from U.S. forces, so at this date in time, why not England too?
 
I believe our fatality infliction rate in WWI was 18-1, WWII something like 35-1, Korea 38-1, Vietnam 40-1 and GWI 185-1. 
 
Keep on bringin' it sandys.  The odds are getting worse day by day.
 
Hats off to the Mighty Brits today!

That's because the muslims are a bunch of chickenhearted bastards. Committing atrocities against civilians and torturing POWs is their bread and butter. Anything requiring courage and honor is not for them.

The only way the terrorists can win with 5-1 odds is when the one is tied hand and foot.

Talk about your girlie men!

I've been saying that for over a year.

People believe that because they get a few of ours we are facing the VC and NVA all over again.

This current crop of enemies amount to little more than pop up targets, and aren't qualified to carry a VC's water bottle.

I salute the Argyles, bayonet engagements are the Olympic finals of land warfare, and they won the Gold.

A couple of weeks ago Fox had footage of some insurgents "sneaking" out to an ambush point on the outskirts of Fallujah. They had AK-47s, but the dipsticks were wearing white (either their shirts or those robes some of them wear) and one was even wearing one of those woven skullcap thingies--in off-white. Needless to say, they all ended up dead.

It is not only tolerance, scholarship and the industrial arts that the jihadis have left behind in their silly effort to remain in the 11th Century, but they apparently missed out on some advances in the combat arms as well. like, say, camouflage.
