Taking a completely dispassionate view of this incident, when the SAS carried out an identical raid on Pebble Island, it went down in British military history as an outstanding piece of soldiering. Like it or not, this is the Taleban equivalent and will undoubtedly go down in insurgent military history as perhaps their finest piece of soldiering for a generation or more.
Slight difference Melchett01, SAS in Pebble raid were not wearing Argie uniforms as far as I have read; if the press reports about the Bastion Raid are correct the Talibs were wearing US army uniforms or camo fatigues
which is very nasty business - they used to execute those captured in WWII for such offences...
and they have captured one insurgent in this instance...
Cannot believe the pencil pushers decided to publicize that Harry was in country and where he was operating from (to try and score points post his Vegas antics) - they should really be held accountable
