ORG When were you in the "Sand Pit" ? Just figured it was important since you seem to have witnessed all of our forces at work throughout the duration of the operation.
I was there the first time round, during Gulf War 1, remember, when you lot managed to kill more of our lot than the Iraqi's did?
As for this time round, I have been in constant contact with ex comrades out there, who, once again, have said that they were more worried about being slotted by yanks than they were by the enemy.
As for the "wagon" of american bashing, have you ever stopped to wonder why this wagon is now so fcuking big?
Perhaps its just a conspiracy by the entire world against the US, as your politicians and press would have you believe. Or maybe, considering that this site is the mouthpiece of the military of your closest ally, that we are all just a bit p1ssed off with the arrogant, egotistical way that the spams conduct every fcuking thing that they do. You lot NEVER, EVER seem to think that you are wrong, you think that the rest of the world should believe what you believe, should do as you do, should accept that americas mistakes are justified whilst the rest of the worlds can not be tolerated.
Well, wake up. All that your actions have done in the last few years is made previous supporters like me (go back through my posts and you will see that previously I have venomously supported the yanks) realise that you are a bunch of inward looking idiots that have absolutely no perception of what the rest of the world is doing or wants.
Your military sites are a joke, with the majority of the participants thinking and saying that any complaint about the unprofessionalism of your forces (i.e. not being able to differentiate between friendly and enemy targets) is "whining", whilst all of your own fcuk ups are just simple "mistakes".
Your press constantly highlights our shortcomings but fails to report that once again, the US has managed to kill more Allies than the iraqi's did.
Don't presume to lecture me about my knowledge of american armed forces, I worked with them long enough and had enough experience of their unprofessionalism to know that I should be more worried about them than I ever was about the enemy.
Like it was so eloquently put by a Brit Mil advisor on CNN, "You can tell they aren't americans because they have all of the points covered and are not running around shouting "yeah ha" and "whoo hoo"
You want us to believe in you lot again? Stop killing our troops, train your idiots to recognise the difference between friends and foe (please do not give me the fog of war crap, our lot managed not to kill any of your lot), stop bleating about how the world is so nasty to you when you haven't done anything wrong and stop funding terrorist organisations which have killed hundreds of the soldiers that stand side by side with you lot every time you come crying for an ally.
You want a perfect example? Members of this forum have been BANNED from military.com for raising views that question the ethics or techniques of the yank military, or for stating points incredibly similar to your last post. Try and log on here again tomorrow, or the day after, or the day after that, I can pretty well much guarantee that you will have access, i.e. NOT BANNED for using your right to free speech. But then again, this is the UK, where free speech is not some rhetoric spouted from a constitution that is only upheld when it suits the guardians of that constitution. For better or worse, we actually let people do it without trying to shove our philosophy down their throats and then banning the people who do not toe the party line
You live in a country of hypocrites, run by hypocrites and defended by amateurs whose strength comes from numbers, technology and money but NOT from a God given right to dictate how the rest of us should live.
