Guys, regarding Afghan RoE & Shows of Force (read beat up) surely, when the bad guys are running around housing estates filled with children it is better to scare them off than blow them up and possibly kill someone's kid hiding in the bushes nearby. Just a thought. Hearts & minds and all that.
It was, and remains, a very valid response.
Not every time though.
Well done 13 Sqn (my old Sqn...when we flew a proper ac).
