Any advances on 19?

Ah still, c'est la guerre, ours and the Germans kill counts during the BoB were ridiculously out at times, in fact the Germans used to joke "Here come the last fifty Spitfires again" when they were intercepted sometimes since High Command had told them continuously that the RAF was on its last legs.

Still, the inaccuracy of early kill counts aside, this is a good job done by the airborne, but they have a great legacy behind them. Good to have the Russkies on side too, they must have a lot of ghosts to exorcise from that place. I wonder how many soldiers involved in the Russian movements in Afghanistan served in the last Russian foray into the country.

Still, it's a shame that the Karzai government is as about as trustworthy as the one in Mogadishu, and probably about as stable. Roll on 'mission accomplished', let's get our lads back.
