I've searched FR and can't find a certain piece of information.
Can someone tell me how many members of the British military are helping fight the war in Iraq?
Thanks ahead of time!

Aren't the Challengers a pretty new design for the British?

UK forces: Britain sent about 45,000 military personnel to the Gulf.
A Naval task group, air assault brigade, British tanks and about 100 RAF aircraft are among the units present.

It was 14 against 14, and the score was 14-nil I love those nil scores.

The Challenger II is more than capable of going toe-to-toe with the M1A1. The Iraqis didn't stand a chance.

I wish I could join the British army, they have cooler looking desert camo and better tanks. Of course I heard the soldier no longer get their daily ration of rum, so that does cast a pall over the whole idea.
Well done Brits!!!
