Who here has seen real war action?

[sasguru]

I know a few of you are always banging on about this:

We all know Churchill has had his rum, sodomy and lash
Corporal ShaunBhoy peeled potatoes at the rear
Menelaus always bangs on about being dressed in green, like some gay forest ranger.
Incognito behaves like a 3rd rate Bond.

It all sounds like that Apprentice twunt with his "scholarship to Sandhurst".

But who here has been under fire from the enemy, seen the blood and guts, had his mates killed?

PS Threaded shut the **** up. We don't believe you.

With the best will in the world please shut up and go away.......

If they wanted to tell you they would..............

That's a very personal question.

I'd suggest it's none of your business.

Yes. More times than I care to remember.

And no, I don't want to talk about it. Me and my meds will go sit in the corner and quietly deal with my demons, if you don't mind.

Oh ok was a bit strong asking about mates being killed. I take it back. Just curious what it feels like under fire - like all blokes I suppose

Imagine the worst fear that you can ever feel, the adrenaline coursing through your veins, your heartbeat pumping, the blood pressures up and you're there with your best mates.

Got that image in your head? OK.

Now multiply it by a billion - and you're still nowhere near close enough.

Sas - I think you might have gone a bit OTT here....

I know when my Dad came back from (former) Yougoslavia, he was well f*cked up. Took him years to accept what he had seen.

Maybe put your sensitive hat on for this thread eh?

I would think not.
