Er, the cowboys appear to be losing the long term battle smudge.
Arses firmly kicked out of Iraq (yes eventually) and also Afghanistan (er, yes eventually)? War didn't end entirely end or go the way the cowboys envisaged? And at such destructive massive cost in all lives let alone material.....
And look at the state of the British Armed forces 14 years later, fantastic aren't they?
I'm sorry smudge I've had a drink and I find nothing funny about it all. Seems the region is set in perpetual warfare and downfall and I truly wish the world had the wit to come to its senses.
