Maybe the afghans will have the luxury of humor one day

Well, in between beers, there is such a (reported not proven) phenomenon called "alpha females" rigorously denied by all historical accounts. I of course know not of any such persons -g-

Special Forces is where it's at -g-

There does seem some repetition in history though. Romans, Norse, British, and American empires. Sooner or later all those empires had to face up to "The White Mans burden"

(OT) Re Vikings

These martial societies do often trip themselves up.

I suppose when King Haakon IV's meteorologist suggested the invasion of Scotland should be pushed back to the spring of AD 1264, when the weather would be more advantageous, he was reprimanded for making "un Viking like remarks" and promptly executed for being a "wussie".

I just hope and pray Tony B is listening to the best advice on the situation on the ground in Afghanistan. Once that is done, I'll support his decisions whatever they are. The whinings of other British politicians mean little at this point.
