Just been reading the Telegraph in which there is an article on munitions used throughout the Paras tour of duty:

443,000 rounds.
3,500 mortar rounds.
400 hand grenades thrown.

Not to mention the tonnage dropped by the Bona mates & A10s.

I can only imagine how much John Reid regrets stating that "British troops might leave Afghanistan in 3 years time without firing a shot."

Dr Reid, you really are a kn*bber who represents his party in an uncannily accurate manner.
