I am sorry 5- 9 para fucking sf operators lost with not even a single terrorist scratched.
Change our role models and grow.
We fucking need equipment and tactics change.
US learnt just like this. Not that all of a sudden "Oh wow! Uncle Sam's got a billion dollars of his pockets let's get some equipment and gear". On October 23, 1983, a four-ton Mercedes truck passed through a Lebanese Army checkpoint and into the parking lot of the Beirut International Airport. Then it detonated—killing 243 American Marines who had been sent to Lebanon as part of a multinational peacekeeping force. The bomb that took out the Marine Battalion Landing Team headquarters in Beirut was the largest non-nuclear explosion in the history of warfare. And what did the US do, oh a day later it declared war on Grenada and in Beirut, they did nothing. They were just like us in the 80s. But alteast at one point of time they became serious. When they were attacked on their own soil, they took the fight to the enemy. With us, the case is, Indians being massacred in Fiji, Uganada and we ignore it. We try going out once in Sri Lanka and never again. We get attacked at home and dont respond. The thing is we never want to learn. I always wonder, what is it that could hurt us so badly that we change completely.
