Other than on FR, we'll never hear about this in America.
This is at least the fourth posting, each from a different source, of this story.
The Brits and Scots are bloody well proud of their Ladies from Hell.

Sure, it's brave and all but it doesn't compare to running down a fleeing Viet Cong soldier who had been shot by a 50mm machine gun round and executing him.

I think the more appropriate phrase is "It's Allah's will."

was there anything left to shoot. (1mm = .03937 inches)
(50mm = 1.97 inches).

Scotland the Brave! Och aye! bump......
Scots wha' hae wi' Wallace bled, won't be impressed by Sadr's jessies in bath robes.

More than 150 Iraqis were said to be involved in last week's battle. What, only 150 on six! It was a massacre! The New York Times won't like this! -- LOL!

To: Tallguy
This tactic is one of desperation ... and follows the fine example of LtCol Chamberlain and his Maine Regiment in the defense of "Little Round-Top" at Gettysburg.
When you are running low of ammo, and the enemy keeps pressing on ... what is left to do - but fix bayonets and charge!!!
(See "Gettysburg" - or read the book "Killer Angels" for information.)
Just wonderful ... too bad the press won't play this for all it is worth!!!

Typo....50 Caliber, or 1/2 inch.
Moot point, though, 'cause there certainly isn't much left after taking a round or two from a Ma Deuce!

Now THERE'S a story the libs WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND! Charging the enemy with mean nasty bayonets... on the ends of GUNS, no less... why, that could hurt someone, or at least hurt their feelings ;) Well at least they didn't put panties on their heads.

'Both the injured guys are back with their units and doing fine.' Obviously, neither was a Kerry!

I'll have to listen to that. I may know the song, but just not know it by name; I love to listen to bagpipes (I'm a 5th generation Scot on both sides of the family).
