Really they could do with some kind of armoured invisible stealth hovercraft to replace the Landrover. With machine guns, and rockets and stuff.

The new version of the "Snatch" Land Rover is currently being deployed to Afghanistan I believe. This new "Snatch Vixen" (now there's a Google search with interesting potential) is a beefed up version specifically developed for the conflict in Afghanistan, with more power and armour. Hopefully it'll do the job and offer the guys and girls out there some much needed protection.

The stealth hovercraft does sound better though!

Which values are those? Polite conversation and reasoned debate?

You are a grade A idiot

22nd SAS are out there doing tulip that you wouldnt and couldnt be able to do [even if your lame ass tried] - whether you agree with it or not - show a little respect for these people. The tulipe these guys have to put up with and lies from Politicians is shocking! Yet they are still the most feared SF in the world....that shows something!

It is good to see our SF coming out on issues like these.
