Re: Taliban running short of ammunition?
They have been battering away on full auto for a good 30 years at the Russians and us
Plus the wedding parties and the tendancy to let a mag go if you win a quid on the lotto they must be geting a bit short by nowWe should remember the tremendous contribution of the Queen Mother to the war effort:
As the BBC pointed out, she 'bravely remained in London beside her husband' during the war.
This contrasts sharply with the actions of my grandfather who, on the declaration of war immediately left his wife and children and pissed off, first to France, then North Africa, Italy, France (again) and finally Germany.
The shame will always be with us.

They couldn't have supplied the fifteen copies of the final Health and Safety Plan for the long term ground water monitoring at the Tailban Army Ammunitions Plant.

Actually it's NATO officials who say so, not that that's a guarantee of veracity either. Read your own link.

Come on now, I've worked with BAe Systems, you are rating them too highly - they were NEVER that good!

To be unfashionably fair to BAe, a lot of supply problems from BAe used to relate more to the MOD's way of doing business than inefficiency on BAe's part. Originally Posted by mnairb
