In the well endowed regiments of the British army, such as I was in...

You were in the Pay Corps?

[minestrone]

Asymmetric warfare was a great thing when you were able to bomb them from the sky but now it's decidedly underhand when someone leaves a bomb under a bin.

[AtW]

and do they follow that ? no they do not. e.g. we bomb them from 50,000 feet with stealth bombers, do they bomb us in the same way ?

The interpretation in this case I believe is that they can also bomb civilian population using their own stealth bombers...

[Churchill]

Hence the necessity for the goolie chit.

You don't get to rule a third of the world without figuring that one out.

RAF Pilots get gold coins, we get gooly chits. Hmmm, go figure!

I don't think it needs to mention what exactly needs to happen to infidels, though there are some words to the effect of "fight them like they fight you".

no, they cut our willies off instead

B@stards. Why dont we set the pope onto them ? he seems to be capable of doing a lot of damage

The holy hand-grenade of Antioch!

They won't like it up 'em!

[EternalOptimist]

If they were able to capture enough of NATO troops then they'd be doing the same in my view, it wasn't anti-Russian thing, more of anti-infidel kind of thingy, apparently.

Where in the Qur'an does it mention that practice then?

Either way it's not a question for me as I am not an expert on exactly what Koran allows to do to the infidels, and I certainly don't want to find out that...

Where in القرآن الكريم does it mention that practice then?

It was the treatment of Russians during their occupation of Afghanistan that I was referring to.

Don't the gooley chits work anymore then?

In the well endowed regiments of the British army, such as I was in, the main danger is that they would cut your head off and stick it in the mouth of yer willy

[AtW]

That and the fact that if the Mujis got hold of you they'd cut you dick off, stick it in your mouth and leave your dismembered body to be found by your colleagues?

You won't shock me by these stories old chap - this has been known to me to happen long time before NATO got into Afghanistan, not just there mind you - Chechnya springs to mind.

To be fair cutting heads of hostages would be more usual thing to expect there.

Knowledge of this helps reduce surrender rate among troops...

Travel insurance was a tad expensive so I did not want to go check it out in person...

Are you sure they just milk the goats?
