If your in IRC than u already know the decent sized skirmish the Marines are having. If u aint in IRC than u are missing a nice battle, live footage of tanks blowing the hell out of a building.

[quote="Low spark":06ae4]The New York Times is reporting the 1 soldier was killed and 13 wounded.
Also they are saying the soldier being held is a sargent, and a muslim convert.[/quote:06ae4]

Why fix something when its not broken? I dont think it will see more than 15 more years of combat, after all theres new technology coming out all the time.

Dammit! I hate when things like this happen. For God's sake. . .I hope they stay tight and a feeling of mistrust doesn't erode performance. The Brits and Americans are going to need to remain a cohesive force. Resistance is stiffening as they get closer to Baghdad. God be with those pilots and their families. hake:

Oh sheet.

Yeah, the guys made a wrong turn heading to a maintenance assignment. If the Iraqis have any sense, they will treat those prisoners fairly, like we have been treating their prisoners. God help them if they cross the line.

Which they will.

They executed some of the prisoners already. According to people who have seen the tape. Gunshot wounds to the head.

The Tornado pilots are MIA, it isnt confirmed if they are KIA. So WHY did one of the british commanders say "we will put this behind as as quickly as possible and contnue with our objectives"

Shouldnt their priority (at least for the brits) be to find the pilots?

A searce and rescue team isnt going to hinder the advance.
