Genstabler,

It's quite revealing that it is indeed Infantry Officers, albeit usually retired, but only recently so, the last 20 years, who ask the same constructive questions. I can appreciate the level of combat that coalition infantry and support units have been engaged in over in Afghanistan and Iraq before.

But all is relative, if, as seems to be the desire of the West's leadership to get involved in a more comparable shoot out with say Russia, we might find out just what a hell hole we'll have gotten ourselves into.

Mr C Hinecap,

At which point did anyone draw any comparison with the Falkland Islands campaign, or FI, as you put it. I would be far more easily persuaded if you had a stab at answering my questions!?
