Hope you all don't mind a civvy starting a thread here, but I'd be interested in your opinions on this.
Is anyone else getting a bit fed up with the gung-ho Politicians and valiant media types ("Hell Nooooooe we won't goooooe, maaaaaaannnnn" in 60s...) going on about SAS to go in.. stuff. :mad:
I always thought Special Forces ops depended on secrecy. "Covert Infiltration" and all that.
See this in 'Dununda and Godzone':

Is it ethical for such missions to be blown like this? :eek:
Are we not risking peoples lives uneccasarily? :eek:
Presume the Taliban can read English? :rolleyes:
Or are the lads so professional that it won't matter anyway? :cool:
Thoughts anyone....
PS: BTW I actually did 1 year in TA Royal Sigs, but I don't presume to count that as mil experience... :D
