Either the Geneva or Hague conventions protect PoWs. The DPR aren’t signatories but not following this international norm usually has consequences. Non that they likely care about as they are utterly under putins thumb.

Firing squad with a month to appeal. Strictly speaking it’s not Russia, it’s the DPR. Aiden at least had been in Ukraine for four years serving in their armed forces and, I believe has a Ukrainian wife. He previously volunteered with the peshmerga in Syria, but had no military experience otherwise. I dunno what motivates him tbh but I think it wouldn’t hurt some folks to cut him a bit of slack tbh. Maybe at least read more than a headline.

Didn’t expect it but not surprised. They f***ing hate us over all this.

That won't be fun... A lot of places in the middle east that would be great to go to. The unstable nature of the region only adds to the adventure. Not much of a story '15 years in an Iraqi prison for taking a pile of rocks'.

They now have a ship named after them in honour. The USS The Sullivans.

Bet he wasn’t vaccinated!

I think the yanks did a study and decided that firepower won battles, not calibre. So they wanted troops to be able to carry more ammunition. Early trials in Vietnam showed some serious wounds and killing power but I think that was put down to the specific round tested which tumbled on impact. Interestingly it looks like the yanks are now going to go to an intermediate calibre. The 6.8mm sig has won the contract. Army expects Next Generation Squad Weapon to get to its first unit by next year WWW.ARMYTIMES.COM An unloaded XM5 rifle is two pounds heavier

The battle rifle of the falklands was 100% the SLR, yes. Both sides used them. Only units that didn’t would be special forces I think, who by then had armalites. Brit rifles were semiauto and argue rifles were full auto.

Oberon class. We could do with a fleet of conventional subs now tbh. The Tristram is now a special forces training ship. Just around the corner from Poole.
-
Just realised the Galahad was the same class of ship. That just made this cooler.
-
Seemed like the place to post this rather than a new thread. This is RFA Sir Tristram, served in the Falkland’s and even survived being bombed. Can’t be many vessels left from that era now. Maybe only the Conqueror? We got up close…
-
Yes. And suicides I suppose, which usually represent 50% of gun deaths. It is still a significant stat but it’s been produced with an agenda and so worded to suit.
-
That wasn’t the wording. School age children killed by guns was the wording right? It’s still a very significant stat.
-
Ban bans! Before they banned them it wasn’t cool. Lift the ban ten years later and all of a sudden they have infamy!
-
Yeah but they were legal before 94 too. It was a ten year ban. Why wasn’t there a spike in mass shooting before the ban? What did the ban achieve?
-
Ah, a rare example of an educated southerner, capable of breaking the nation down into more than two regions!

It's Grantham... It's not a melting pot of humanity's finest.

With food crisis looming, Milley says using military to end Russian blockade would be ‘high risk’ WWW.DEFENSENEWS.COM Amid mounting calls to break Russia’s blockade of Ukraine’s Black Sea ports for grain exports, America’s... To me this is close to being as escalatory as enforcing a no fly zone. One of the key difference being, the consequences of inaction are more keenly felt and so more motivating. Strategic outcomes aside, a no fly zone would've simply reduced Ukrainian civilian deaths, it wouldn't have helped us safe in the West. Whereas allowin

There’s absolutely no detail. I’m surprised quite how bold it appears in being an EU alternative. Seems almost like he’s trying to threaten the EUs integrity and is capitalising on Britains bolstered soft power post Ukraine.

Shooting On May 24, 2022, Salvador Rolando Ramos and his 66-year-old grandmother had an argument over a phone bill at their home in Uvalde, during which he shot her in the forehead before taking her Ford pickup truck.[43][44][45] She survived and sought help from neighbors while police officers were called in.[46] She was then airlifted to a hospital in San Antonio in critical condition.[47][48] Using his Facebook account, Ramos sent three private messages to a 15-year-old girl from Germany whom he had met online prior to the shooting:[49][50] the first to say that he was going to shoot hi

Sloppy housekeeping, I'd have to get rid of her. Especially leaving guns all over the f***ing place when there's a cabinet right there!

Is it just me, or are those trainers on that rack upside down?
-
Or command failures led them to behave differently. Do people seriously believe that 19 officers and god knows how many more outside are all either ignorant or cowards? Seems too unlikely the problem is anything other than a system failure. Handing out a guidance booklet and a training day doesn’t constitute effective training. Strikes me as being similar to the corporate compliance courses which are clearly litigation box ticking exercises.

The commander Fraver one is a must watch too!

There was one fella on there who was really interesting, a journo I think, had some really interesting views and evidence of developed cultures in south and Central America, some really ground breaking stuff if proven. I was well into it…. Then right at the end the c**t starts explaining how he reckoned they were advanced in their use of psychedelics to generate telekinetic abilities! f***ing c**t completely done me!
