"We should count ourselves lucky that the iraqis cant fight back" those thousands of dead coalition troops must have just all died from natural causes then,eh?
"its nothing compared to the 1st and 2nd world war" and youve gleaned this from experience of NEARLY joining the RAF...?Bullets and bombs make just as big a mess as they did back during the war
"Im still thinking about joining the reserves though" Why?
Sorry son,when youve dodged more lead and shaped charges than Audey Murphy and can still laugh about it then i might listen to you on your soapbox but until then im just gonna keep laughing at your uneducated comments,and all the other clueless morons in this country .

P.S With a chip on your shoulder that big i doubt youd have ever fitted in a regular unit.
