The same statement was made about the titanic. Even god couldn't sink it. That didn't work out well. Bellends ??? Anything on or in the water is sinkable..........by virtue of the fact that it's on or in the water. And, in fairness, Titanic wasn't a battleship............when the good lady's brother moved to NI, he was in a taxi, and they drove past Harland and Wolfe. The driver said to him "That's where the Titanic was built, you know." He (jokingly) said " I wouldn't brag about it, though !" With a totally straight face, the driver says "It was fine when it left here !" 1 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're just very good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of stuff goes on in wartimes that doesn't have an historical account. Half the time all these sophisticated missiles end up stuck in the wrong building or target. Oops we just wiped out another village. In the last several conflicts they have killed more of their own troops from monumental fcukups than any of there enemies could muster. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THE STIFFMEISTER 14,463 Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 You said that the majority of deaths were from friendly fire blue in blue etc and then justify it with a health and safety link..... two totally different things 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not anti American or British by any means and I don't support Russia either but I would be of the opinion that they all are lying through their teeth to suit their own agendas and I wouldn't 100% believe any of their investigations. When the shit kicks off between the big boys it always ends up with the little guys taking the hit. Syria was one of the nicest places in the world and now since the saviours came in Russia, USA, Britain ,France whom ever it is now one of the biggest shit holes on earth. Some liberation that is and it happens time and time again. Sometimes if there is tension between different factions in these places maybe it's best to stay out of it instead of turning it into a wasteland every time or maybe that's the plan. Again when there is nothing to gain they turn a blind eye to atrocity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 14,463 Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Nah your not getting off that easy mate you meant that more servicemen are killed by friendly action than enemy threat. You made no mention of rtas, heli downs or other accidents in your post. You insinuated that more people are killed by friends and off centred missile strikes than in contact scenarios. Dont try to bolster the stats now by including accidents. I’ve seen and witnessed the avoidable deaths of people on tour outwith conflict in accidents and general mongery. That’s sadly part of deployment Another stat can be levelled is that brigades suffer less deaths through accidents when on deployment than they do in the uk via training and road accidents. Via law of averages people will be killed through accidents in any mass formation , you have to remember that camp bastion is basically a small city , there will always be a proportion of avoidable deaths Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Firstly, most of the Allied soldiers who died did so because they were shot or stepped on ordinance.............and secondly, not a single soldier fights for Lockheed Martin. Oh, and thirdly, you talk shite, for disrespecting braver men than you ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
