Brit base. Brit perimeter.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say locals were on the perimeter, with Brits and Amerricans on the interior positions.

In Iraq we often had Ugandan contractors. Dunno if that holds true in Afghan.

EXIT QUESTION: Wouldn’t it be nice if the media and White House showed as much public outrage against the bloodthirsty Taliban murderers who slayed our Marines as they do against Marines who piss on dead Taliban corpses?

British media are flapping like a bunch of twats about Prince Harry being back on his second tour and how it's going to make the Taliban even angrier.
So what the fuck. Like they weren't doing their best to kill our guys already.
Apparently some 'British' Moslems have vowed to go over there and find him. Good, I hope they do. He's a gunner in an Apache and has a 30mm chaingun, FFAR's and Hellfires. Go on, try it , and when you arrive in Hell be sure to tell Satan that an English Prince sent you there.

I am no Royalist ( I'm English by birth but an exiled American by choice, if you hadn't noticed ) but I cannot ignore the 1000 years of racial memory that I'm a product of.

Have we forgotten how war works?

Some of them are good'uns. He happens to be one of them.

Princess Anne is OK. My missis worked at a project when she was in her late teens where they taught retarded kids to ride horses as therapy.
They got a visit from Anne one day and the supervisor was like " How should we all address you, your royal magnificence ? " and curtseying and shit.
Her reply was " Call me Anne "

I remember Harry on his first tour being pictured with a " We do bad things to bad people " US flag patch.
I doubt he bought it from Ebay...

Phil the Greek ( AKA the Queens husband ) is a legend - the only member of the UK establishment to speak out against gun control.

I've heard from friends that he's got big brass ones... That he was involved in some very hairy forward ops, but decided his duty required him pull out of that because his presence was endangering the mission and the other guys, because they were being specially targeted.

He's also never made a big deal of it, or tried to trade on it, and has always said as far as it goes he's just another soldier... albeit one who has a better choice of billets.

As I understand it, his uncle Andrew was much the same.

It's too bad the rest of the UK government doesn't act or feel the same way he does - instead of being filled with a bunch of friggin' anti-gun pussies!!
