A very succesful operation where the Talibs were outthought and outfought on what they thought was their own turf.

God bless Her Majesty’s armed forces. Probably the only public institution in Britain that can still do what it’s meant to do..

You’d think the definition of a “Taliban-controlled area” would mean that the British couldn’t casually move a thirty-ton turbine through it, killing 200 fanatic warriors like so much evil-smelling roadkill.

But apparently not!

I have wondered why we have heard little from our forces over the last few months. It seems that the Americans took over some general duties in Helmand to allow 2000 of our Para’s to conduct this stunning operation.

Who said we Brits can’t fight?!!!
