I don't quite know where this thread is heading but are any of you out there really trying to tell me that being attacked in Iraq would come as a surprise to any of the crews who have decided to operate therein during the current climate?
If so, then they are immensely naive or they are being paid a lot of money!
I got the "being shot at bit in the Middle East" out of the way when I was in the military. There simply isn't enough money in the world to persuade me to do it in my leisure (civilian) time!
