F*ck me have they regrouped
My Brother in law is in southern Afghan Taliban territory and has been for 6 weeks and has maybe 3 months left.
He says it is fierce over there and has already had a run in with the Taliban....

5 of them in a Landrover got a call to say that they (Taliban) were in the area (apparantley 30 or so)
They went to turn round (sharpish) and there were around 80-90 of them,some with RPG's and all with Machine guns charging on horseback towards them.
They radioed for urgent assistance and the Paras were sent out with an apache gun ship that blew them to pieces with a gatlin cannon or whatever they are....
He said you could see bits of horse flying up in the air etc and also said it scared the S*** out of him.
The other night his base was under attack and they had to dive into the basement area for a few hours.
As i understand it the Afghans have rarely lost a scrap and feel he's in for more of the same...
Mrs smash's (her Bro) face every time the news of another dead UK soldier comes on the news is not something i like to see every week or so.
He is getting me a genuine piece of Afghan desert rock with photo to prove it (preferably covered in taliban blood) so i can e-bay it just out of curiosity.
Anyone else got Family over there or Iraq..?
