And I was in HMForces for 15 years

1972 (as junior soldier)-1977 -2para

1977 -1982 29(RA)Cmdo

Injury in 1982 - either leave or transfer

1982-87 cook in army (sad innit)

But this background does not give me a right to be any better than others on the forum to give an opinion

GetReal, I think that your post is an excellent analysis, well done, wish I had thought of that one.

Hi Eliko I'd be interested to see who provided the figures that our resident rebel without a clue claims, probably the same scource as the Baby Milk Factory, the farce factory where Comical Ali and Chemical Ali had their scripts written, for clarification chemical weapons were banned under the Geneva convention after the Germans unleashed them to terrible effect during WWI 1914/18. The 180,000 Kurds weren't the only people that they used them on either.

True but you don't have to listen to some pillock reciting propaganda either, the figures he gave are bullshit you know it and I know it.

[RichardB]

To be honest with you southerner I dont know the figures. and niether I suspect do you or anyone else on the forum.

Exactly

Although pretty much all the males in Cyprus have a military background due to an obligatory military service, this issue is really one of common sense.

As I thought no military background whatsoever. Typical Rebel without a clue
For your information I was a fully trained infantryman four years before I became a full time musician, I trained in many aspects of infantry warfare, too many to list here. I came just three points from qualifying as a marksman the very first time that I had a rifle put in my hands and at 19 I was the youngest member of my Battalion to ever take part in the international shooting championships at Bisley in the UK.
We certainly didn't jump out in the street, empty a full magazine from an AK47 at all and sundry.
The "650,000 Iraqis dead (men, women, and children)" is just propaganda for gullible, spineless, leftie tree huggers such as you. Go and shoot some sparrows and pickle them, you'll be ok they can't shoot back!

In an investigation published in British medical weekly The Lancet earlier this month, US and Iraq specialists estimated that more than 600,000 civilians died a violent death between March 2003 and July 2006.

Btw, I was an infantry sergeant and still a reservist; I've got a lovely G3 automatic and a couple of hundred rounds of ammo in my cupboard because we keep them at home!, but as I said before it's irrelevant to this issue. Trouble spots like Cyprus, Lebanon, Israel, etc, have firepower coming out of their ears!

And of course it actualy states that these 600,000 civillians were killed by the coalition forces, in your dreams.

I deducted some 90,000 from suicide bombers earlier; is that generous or what?, so the fact still remains that there are hundreds of thousands dead unaccounted for and given...

And of course you have the divine right to throw accusations about.

I would just like to kindly ask you and anyone else to go easy on our accusations of the Iraqi people because they are suffering horrendously and if anything they need our help so bad that it ain't funny. Please consider their plight.
