The Taliban don't have an Anti-
If they do, it won't work.
If it does work, they won't be able to find enough ammo for it.
If they can, they won’t have anyone competent enough to fire it.
If they do, they won't be practised enough to target you accurately.
If they are, they won’t see you at night because they won’t have a night sight.
If they do, it will be almost impossible use correctly and will be hopelessly inaccurate.
Right?

Do you want to get into the seat of the Apache with me and fly against him?
What does AA tracer look like when it’s coming straight for you?
What do you do when you realise that you’re about to be smashed to pieces?
Do you climb or descend?
Speed up or slow down?
Turn or fly straight?
Perhaps you’re that damn scared and short of time you just can’t do anything and have to accept your fate.

O TO BE A SOLDIER
A Lane
I was that which others cared not to be. I went where others feared to go, and did
what others failed to do. I asked nothing from those who gave nothing, and reluctantly
accepted the thought of eternal loneliness -
I have seen the face of terror. Felt the chill of fear, warmed to the touch of love.
I have hoped, pained and cried. But, foremost, lived in times others would say were best forgotten. At the very least I will be able to say with greatest pride that
I was indeed a soldier.

‘This book is Arthur’s penultimate work.
A brief account of Arthur’s life which encompasses many of the trials, encounters and nightmares of his whole career during the war and after.
Not as detailed as some of his other books but a revelation to any ‘boys wanting to be men’ and a reminder to any ‘men no longer boys’ of a time and times that some would like to forget but can only remember.’
R. Eyre (Earthling)

I am in the middle of writing my last book,. “70 days To Hell” Which concerns the war in Malaya. In which I hope to pin point or show the places where groups of men fell or went missing each day from the 8th December 1941 to 15th February 1942, continuing to hopefully show where those listed as having no known grave, actually were on the day of the missed roll call. Any veterans from that era who have anything which will help, Battle formation, old roll calls , unit casualty registers, plus unseen pictures or photographs are asked to contact me.
56,000 dead including 26,000 missing No Known Grave, from a total 128,000.
