Is this the first time in history that an offensive by light infantry has defeated a well equipped armoured force of superior numbers? Because I can’t think of any.

And on the other side of that, you have the Iraqi army, the worst fighting machine known to a man. Airsoft warriors led by the keyboard HQ would probably be more successful.

I never said anything about my military service, as I don’t feel the need to justify my opinions with that.

The whole idea is beyond ridiculous.It’s like saying that a top football player could have a chance at playing in one of the top 10 basketball teams, simply because both of them are owned by the same guy, with whom he is a good friend.

Ah, yes, the good old “You don’t know, you weren’t there, man!” argument. That doesn’t give a slightest bit of credibility to your absurd idea.

I disagree with that. They have only failed to defeat Britain; things were going very well for them in early-mid 42'.

Iraq, on paper, had the best equipped non-NATO or Warsaw pact military, along with the 8 years of combat experience in a total war and a domestic military industry to back it up.

If only they could have some variety in liveries.....all of the field is going to look the same. Especially so for those who are not hardcore fans.

WOW! Now it’s completely distinguishable from the other two LMP1s.

Iraqis didn’t recover from the Six day way, Yom Kippur war, Iran - Iraq war, Gulf war, no-fly zones, 2003 invasion, insurgency and the civil war, and now this. Never.

Iraqi Army - all flash but no guts; the most pointless military since the Italians in the last century
