There's something happened within the last hour or so, and the most anyone knows is is that it was an "incident".
Anyway, was watching about it on Sky News, and they mentioned something about how last week, they went to recover a disabled vehicle the day after the first attack on them.
Now they're only meant to recover vehicles within half an hour of them losing it as such, yet they went in the day after - which they're saying suggests that they're short of vehicles.
It's not too great that these guys have been thrown in there (into a war which was falsely justified in the first place etc...) with a lack of vehicles and dodgy equipment.
There was just a bit of breaking news as well that the bomber who killed the 3 Black Watch guys was caucasian.
That's interesting...

When you are faced with the military, you may as well give up or get BURNED.

That sounds backwards to me, if you went to recover it half an hour later, it would be because of more urgency to get it than waiting till the next day.
I'll be wrong though.
It's obvious they would have shoved in with a lack of stuff anyway, it's been over the news since the beginning that our troops are treated like crap, and that Iraqis had better equipment than them, so why would they have treated the Black Watch any better?
The war was wrong, yes, but I still belive that getting rid of Saddam lessened the "wrongness" of it.

Yeah, but that's another matter which has been gone over thousands of times before, which is why I briefly mentioned it in brackets.
Anyway, still nothing on this "incident".

Well the Yanks are going in as we speak now to Fallujah, and apparently the Marine Corp. are totally kicking a**e, so hopefully our chaps will be home safely, and just hope the British Military Death don't get to 80 (73 at the moment)

If you hadn't put it in at all, it wouldn't have been brought up, it's as if you're fishing for answers, but that's not what this is about.
Any news yet?

I don't understand how 650/850 (not sure which) can replace 4000 American soliders.

As far as i'm aware, the US have moved other forces aswell, i believe it is a Marine unit. So the British troops arn't the only ones filling in for the US troops taking Faluja(sp?) as far as i know.
