True story
Be about 2011 in Afghanistan
why did you leave?
moar?
I think because we were so outnumbered. Special forces is a guerilla force so they prefer hit and run and to not be decisively engaged. Small, quick unit actions
I got a lot man. I was in the army for 11 years. What kind of stories do you want?
whatever you want to share user
Checked. I'll share it all man. That shit didn't bother me. I'll type one up real quick I think you'll like. On my phone so it may take a minute
Ill bump the thread with tits so it doesn't die
Do you ever wonder if they’re not really terrorists but they just don’t want people in their country armed and shit?
>helicopters doing circles above me
>jets criss-crossing above them
Bullshit meter is off the charts.

Op here. They're just doing what I would do if my country was invaded. I hope everyone else would do the same

ok its time to stop posting, friendo
wow and you say the locals were hostile towards you guys? so strange....
Kek..it's hard to describe what ranks and things mean without explaining the whole military. But, the alpha is the officer in charge of the team and the zulu is his enlisted right hand man
crazy shot m8 don't listen to the h8
continuing bump dump
No, the non-combatant locals loved us. We weren't out on killing sprees or anything, but accidents happen. And when everyone has guns and bombs, when they do happen, it's usually not good
>friendo
Get lost on your way to reddit?
Oh, I don't give a shit man. I'm not new here
Knows nothing about airspace management
>And when everyone has guns and bombs, when they do happen,
...we don't bother helping out or anything just roll on past sorry fuck you!
are you going to post more greentext?
Was Royal Anglian did 2 deployments, seen action a handful of times, RAF would scare off most of the taliban as soon as they could hear them
We had somewhere to be. With the levels of coordination it takes to manage a battlefield, you can't stop for anything short of serious enemy contact. If a thing needs to happen, units have to be at certain places at certain times. If one fails, then the objective can't be met and the mission fails. Meaning hundreds of people's time and resources have been wasted along with the risk of moving around a battlefield.
