Australian SAS solders left for dead in Afghanistan

Gotta love the Ausies.

Looks like the Dutch have become a bit gun shy since
Srebrenica.

Well, before actually.

Rwanda, wasn't it?


(oh yes I did!)

ooooooh, snap.

Best line...

'If you're not going to engage then you might as well f--- off', Cheers boys."

Don't want to do any damage you know! Real estate values being what they are. Wonder if they would have come down out of the clouds for a Canadian patrol?

I cant speak for these dolts but I would of for any other ally calling down for air support in an obvious fight for their lives.


Maybe their just renting the gunship ?

According to the Dutch, the story is a bit different...
They have helped 3 times to take injured away to the hospital (which is priority), and have been asked for help with a fight on the ground once. When they arrived, the battle was over, and they were a few miles apart.

But hey, who cares?

Gunships don't pick up medical cases..........they are suppose to create them.

Hmm..Thats true. I don't think Apaches are out fitted for carrying the wounded, maybe blackhawks and Hueys ( Are there any Hueys out there )

I also think they were renting them. They already buggered one Apache flying into powerlines and causing a massive blaxkout. Didn't want to return another one with any bullet holes and have the insurance rates jump up even higher

Nice line, I bet Brenda didn't know that little tidbit.

I only refer to my own news source. If you'd care to translate the article i posted you would know that they have been helping escorting wounded people.

But hey, I bet you didn't know that little tidbit. Gotta LOVE the playing on the person here.
