why the fuck do they dub the voice of the african dude with a dude that speaks just like him ??

[Winnetka4]

I think we can summarize this as "ignorant West African savages receive a British attitude adjustment."

[Robert01854]

They are savages, listen to loud rap music, comprised mostly of criminals, wear outlandish clothes and have a penchant for drugs and alcohol. Wow, sounds like a certain group that we have a problem with in this country. Funny, they originated from the same area.

@Winnetka4 I've often felt like using a minigun to give someone an attitude adjustment.

Africa is one fucked up place.

@sunnchilde maybe your right but remember Britain used to treat the world like its personal playground with an empire that still cannot be matched in terms of economic power, so we can't afford to just treat the world how we please not because we shouldn't but because war is as much a political minefield as it is a real minefield.

@Immortal4Aday A couple of 2000lb bombs and nobody has to die. These people are vermin. This is Africa, not Toronto. These people kill each other for fun. Nobody is going to miss them.

@sunnchilde missiles bombs all cost a lot of money man, also you have to rememeber the last the the country wants is an international incident, yeh they took our guys but that does not give us the right to turn a country into a warzone, i get what your saying man i do but we train units like the S.A.S and S.B.S Royal Marines and ParaTroops to fight hard and proficiently so we don't need everything else besides i think the results speak for themselves one British casualty.

the SAS has blue boats for infiltration?

[sunnchilde]

@Immortal4Aday Enough to get the job done, or else why bother? My point is, that second camp across the river was 100% hostile. Everyone in that camp is kill-able. So DON'T go in there. Just stand off and "nuke the site from orbit" so to speak. Two of three 2000Lbs bombs ought to do it. OR, 4 or 5 Hellfire missiles and then use your chin-mounted 30mm machine guns to shoot anything that moves after.

@sunnchilde how much money/resources do you think they give these type of operations?

[Y2KillerSPOOBLY]

@avidas2000 Only children who don't know anything about special forces compare them. The SAS is the oldest and most experienced special forces unit in the world, and provides the model for which many other special forces units are based on, including the SEALs - who are mainly a maritime special forces unit, mind you.
