Wolfdog91 6,330 Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Ill tell ya i do feel its messed up we didnt just pick your guys up. Really ,but that thing all us common folk just love came up. Politics! When it would have been just as easy to just load two brits on a blackhawk and be done with it, article A subsection Z of some 1000 page book says you cant for some stupid a$$ reason. If they did those Brits would be complaining about the lack of tea making facilities onboard the Blackhawk. They'd complain that you call biscuits cookies, and they'd ask your chaps to stop calling crisps, chips and to use the word chips to describe fries. They probably did get picked up by your lads, and then quickly set down when the whinging started! yep that ole black hawk woulda made the U-turn ?? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,645 Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 The truth is a little harder than that born hunter , Of course, all our efforts are preparing our own oversea's territories with their half a million inhabitants, not to rescue four holidaymakers. But at the same time we can hardly pretend that four other nations haven't managed it! Ain't this why we maintain allies and a Foreign Office... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waz 4,215 Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 .......the other thing with Americans....haha... ....is their uncanny ability to advertise their presence. I live just outside a little town which is full of different nationalities, shit loads of Brits, Germans etc etc etc most of which you barely notice when sat in one of the local restaurants, that is, until the Americans walk in, it's instant "we are here!" Nearly as bad as an African on the phone.....haha... Maybe I should move this to the 101 thread? Most americans tell me that the french dont give them a good reception. Probably hold it against them for interrupting just as they were about to liberate their own country from Germany ! Lol I just "laughed out loud" at that Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 44,432 Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 When I was in Italy last month I went into a military and police equipment suppliers/outfitters and was surprised to see they had sold completely out of white flags even though there hasn't been a war for ages.......I suppose failing to prepare is preparing to fail !
