PAF
Mate just a bit curious as what you describe as being "just next to".
I have never been to Iraq but these post got me interested so I looked up google earth the kids use and to me it looks like Tallil is more than 170 k's from Basra as the crow fly's.Not what I'd call just over the hill.
But I guess that if you were in Basra and wanted to lob a rpg or mortar into the field at talil for allah it wouldn't be that far to drive.
I don't know about what you guys call a combat zone bit i reckon that would just about describe the whole middle east not just Iraq(or Iran as well from the brits point of view)
