#1 I wonder how many "high-tempo" ops were done from D-Day to VE-Day? Sheesh.

#2 Har har har! British commanders, British humor. I feel soooo sorry for the Brits!

Decisions decisions. To sleep, or go out and find more bad guys to send off to Allan. Sounds like a winning position to me! Maybe if they'd spend less time burying the bodies they'd have more time to sleep. Just stack 'em up like chordwood and let the enemy waste their time and energy disposing of the husks of the shaheeds. Heck, maybe they'd even get a clue after a while and go back home to tell all their friends about it. Probably not though. They probably believe all that crap about how they will be martyrs and give all their family, friends, pets, etc. free passes into Disneyworld when they die, too. Then again, maybe it's better to keep 'em coming until all the extremist sheep impale themselves on the Brits' bayonettes. At the end of the day, what good is a shepherd without any sheep?

C'mon, Tony, give the troops a break. Every extremist dead is one less (or more if you count their screwed up kids) to fight in the future.
