This is how you fight the Taliban. Go on the offensive, and fight them at night when they are at the disadvantage. Right now, we sit and wait to be attacked. This is stupid!

Body armor can stop 7.62 AK rounds at short range ?
News to me. Thats either very heavy or very high tech.

Body armor stopped a 7.62mm round?
Wow. Lucky boy. I hope he gets thoroughly checked out by the med guys for internal injuries.
Armor doesn’t usually stop a rifle round.

Hmm...getting into a short-range shootout with the SAS is not a career-enhancing move. I don’t think my insurance even covers it.

I don’t think stopping an AK-47 round is all that difficult now.

A few years ago a local went crazy shooting at anyone he saw with an SKS. He shot the local police chief in the chest but his vest stopped the bullet.

Thank you SAS, for sending these Tliban animals home to their moon-god.

Body armor, night vision, air support, and taking the initiative put the Taliban on the run.

Was Chelsea Manning a part of the group?

"One SAS man survived a “quick-draw” shoot-out when he stumbled across a Taliban fighter. He pulled his gun and shot the rebel dead as a bullet from an AK47 hit him in the chest. His body armour stopped it and saved his life."

These SAS guys got balls.
They have my respect and thanks for doing a tough job.

I like the British soldiers who are not PC-indoctrinated.

I think “Kill the Bastards” is an old Brit battle cry.

I LIKE IT!
