"John Mullen" wrote in message .net...
on British paratroopers after they
shot 27 unarmed, innocent civilians in Derry. Unfortunately for John
Mullen, both the shootings and the awards ceremony were 'caught on
film' as well.


As you may be aware, there is an enquiry currently going on about that. I
totally agree with you that this was an awful event, all the worse for
having been covered up at the time.



'Don't use troops for crowd control' would appear to be the motto here.



LOL. If only it were true. : )

I recently watched some fascinating film footage of UK troops in
Basrah. The British soldiers rushed a crowd of (unarmed) Iraqi
civilians, swinging their police batons, displaying the very same
brutality they used in Ireland. The best part is that the crowd fought
back -- and got in some good licks with fists flying. Not
surprisingly, some of the British punks quickly ran away when
challenged by the Iraqis.

Thus we have proof the UK still believes that winning their hearts and
minds is best done by cracking their skulls open first. You can be
certain that footage was shown to the Arab world on Al Jazeera TV.




Thus Mullen shows a common affliction of so many Brits: his head
appears to filled with nuclear waste.


It only appears that way to you because your head is filled with doggy poo
poo.

I don't see the grounds for envy there, personally.



The US usually learns valuable lessons from their mistakes, which is
more than we can say for the British. Their dead empire is the proof.


And your empire is doing well just now, would you say? All that learning
from mistakes should let you roll up the trouble in Iraq



All made possible by the unresolved blunders of the UK. Someone has to
clean up the mess created in Iraq left by the British government. As I
recall, their strongarm tactics also worked badly the last time the
Brits were in Iraq.

It wasn't enough that the British were embarrassed by the Turks at
Kut, where the UK suffered one of its worst military defeats. The
Brits then decided to drag out the pain over several decades, cobbling
together an ill-conceived artificial country -- and then finally
bugged out like cowards.


you guys learned *so much* from getting your asses kicked in Nam.



When?

You British ladies will never forgive us because US forces did not
lose one battle in South Vietnam. That always gets your panties in a
bunch, I know.

By the way, a British officer managed to start that war as well. And
then of course the UK followed their usual fire drill and bugged out
like cowards. Please thank General Douglas Gracey for his Vietnam
follies.


Particularly, after My Lai, I am sure no US forces would ever mistreat
civilians again for example.



Should we brutally club the Iraqi civilians -- in public, in broad
daylight and in front of international news cameras -- as British
troops have done?


(In case you don't get it, I am laughing my ass off here at your last
paragraph. Thank you so much for the entertainment!)



Looks like Mullen got excited and wet himself for no reason.
