I bet those flags are tough fighters in a combat situation....

Are Al Queda, training methods a little simplistic? Or are there hordes of Infidel union flags out there that need slaying! Do you think I would do good business if I set up a flag shop in Yemen speciialising in the union flag and the Israeli Star of David?

Not like our highly sophisticated training then?

Sorry jake, i'm a litle confused over your response.

No real point Bob

Just thought it was an interesting comparison with flags on the ranges in Afghanistan and mosques - er - generic middle eastern buildings on the ranges in Yorkshire.

Always a good idea to stereotype the enemy don't you think? - stop any foolish person from thinking of them as a person

You are aware that those buildings are actually very similar to mos buildings out there i take it. Also you are aware it's against the Laws Of Armed Conflict for us to target mosques (so we don't as we'll end up in prison if we do), the 'buildings' are used to give the moving targets somewhere to hide. It's a waste of ammo firing at a building when there are enemy to engage

Much better protection for the Taliban than tanks then, and much cheaper to build.
