Army Version Of Amarillo

A lady in my office, her son flies off to Basra on Friday morning (his second time), and told me about this video. She is off tomorrow as they are spending the day together and she is buying him a lap top to take with him. He is only 24 and his cousin is going too for the first time with the same regiment. Brave lads.
 
Best wishes to her lad and his cuz, Kathy. It obviously is not a lot of consolation to know such things, but the British GENERALLY have tended to fare better than the Americans. In the Gulf war, the worst single loss of British life (nine lads) was caused BY the Americans firing on their APC - they couldn't tell if the identifying 'V' was on the side of the vehicle or not, and just blasted away. I'd be as concerned about the Yanks shooting me as any sniping Iraqi. (But don't tell her that!)
 
Thanks Krizon, and no, I won't tell her! She has already warned me she will be as good as useless tomorrow when they actually fly out there, especially as two of her family are going this time.

Her son is single as well girls! B)
