| On the subject of officers in combat. My cousin was in the first Gulf War. They were moving up to the front when out of the middle of the desert this Iraqi jumped up and had a go at his truck with an RPG.
John was so angry he got out of the truck, chased him across the desert and beat him up using the empty RPG. He then left the Iraqi and went back to the truck.
As he got in, his Sargent turned to him and said 'excuse me sir, why didn't you just shoot the f----r.
He told this to his officers before the second war to remind them that officers in combat who look as if they are being brave could well be just being stupid. Also, that the brave one was the Iraqi. He was all alone, behind the allied lines, had been plastered by planes and guns, run over by tanks and APC's and no one would have blamed him had he just surrendered. He warned his men not to underestimate the power of the individual.
Good advice as it turns out |

I don't care if it does look funny with the post missing, it was not funny. It was over the top, so I deleted it.

Country: | This is the only time that it has been over the top. I am not going to raise a big stink about it, just a friendly reminder that we get all types of people from all over the world here.
