That’s what SF was designed for. I’m sure the Brits have SF units just like ours.

right… but your not supposed to get your self caught on tape…

NATO is involved. Not shocked to see “NATO” boots there as well.

Back seat driving not only annoys the driver, passengers, but those in the other lane.

I’m so surprised & amazed that this could happen.

^No you’re not.:smiley: You’ve probably just come back.

Looked more like intel/instructor types. Small arms for defense, no armor. These weren’t fighters but trainers or observers. No major faux pas here, they saw press and left. Hell, we used to do that when we wore uniforms. You can’t go anywhere these days without there being a camera around.

Which is why the US armed forces haven’t won any major wars since the invention of portable video recorders.

Were they invented after Iraq II? Cause that sure looks like a win to me.

Unless you wanna take a hit for being a trolling douchenozzle, you BETTER backpedal into how you forgot to denote sarcasm with an appropriate gender-nonspecific smiley, or just shut the hell up right now, given that you’ve seen fit to leave out a fact or 12 in the construction of that statement.

We have won lots of small wars… haven’t fought a major war against another country or group of countries of similar strength in 70 years.

OK, well lots of experts point to media involvement as one of the major reasons for losing the Vietnam War.

I guess I’m not brushed up enough on my military history to claim any other facts.

Carry on
