    But... But... But... What would the Irish know about dealing with IED's?

    There's some stupidly switched on lads in the Ordnance Corps and Ordnance School, who are going over to A'Stan and putting in serious work. Great to see it being recognised.

          This cant be true. Didn't RGJ say they spend their times in HQ reading reports on IEDs?


          Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

                There weren't on it for a reason... and my guess, it would have something to do with persec.

                            "Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.
