#2 Obviously, it is a British unit to be proud of unlike those wussy idiots that the Iranis captured. Geez, one of them sold his story to a tabloid with the earth shattering news that the Quds Squad nicknamed him "Mr. Bean". I can't believe the Brits are becoming like the French and Italians.

#4 His name was Fabrizio Quattrocchi. MAy his name remembered for as long as the ones from the fifteen British marines and sailors be quickly forgotten.

#5 "This is how an Italian dies." I suppose he meant he would die on his feet while attacking his murderous tormentors, rather than beg those sick vermin to spare his life. Fabrizio has been immortalized.

#6 Paybacks are a bitch with the Brits, aren't they! :-)

I wouldn't be too surprised if a few of them were in on planting that first IED. You'll probably know it's true if incidents in the area diminish a lot.

I wonder whose side Allan is on, anyway. Not. Allahu akbar!
