Romanians in fightings in Afganisthan and Irak

HalloIamandi

In regards to your post,

I would just like to point out there is no country called "england" involved

in the conflict in Iraq or Afghanistan.

The country that is referred too, is actually Great Britain or the United Kingdom of Great Britain (which is made up of the countries England, Northern Ireland Scotland & Wales) the military from this location are known as the British Armed Forces, comprising of the British Army, British (Royal) Airforce, and British (Royal) Navy.

I think the original poster should check out his sources I cant recall any Albanians being in Iraq or Afghanistan either.

Aha! Nice! So GB of/or UK stamped products are not banned??? Sounds like an brittish sabotage on international market!

Or maybe not. Maybe England is like Shangri La... Hey, i heard one song about that country - England. Where she is?

Exhibit nomber One:

Hail To England lyrics (Manowar)



"Raise sails head for the open sea

With sails full of wind-our hearts

Overflowwith belief.



The quest for the grail to England

We sail,with our steel.We

Bring what was lost.If

Lives are the cost,let it be.



Strong she stands-reaching her

Hand.Brave and grant.On English

Ground-we were born.Proudly

We return.-To English shore.



Hail,Hail to England-

Hail,Hail,Hail.



We march from the hills

Down to London Town.-

Join Raise you hand-or hide

When we ride for the crown.



Signs of the hammer and

The black winds blow through

The night.Long was out wait

Our meetings with Fate is tonight.



Strong she stands-reaching her

Hand.Brave and grand.On English

Ground-we were born.Proudly

We return.-To english shore.



Hail, Hail to England-

Hail,Hail,Hail.



Standind tall-one and all-

Light the hall.



Years have passed-I've dreamed

of this day.

As we raise our hands-we

proudly say.



Hail,Hail to England-"

Hail,Hail,Hail.[B][SIZE=1]

One sad news

""Un militar a fost ucis şi alţi trei au fost răniţi astăzi, 13 iunie, în jurul orei 5.00, ora României, în Afganistan.

Militarii Batalionului 300 Infanterie Galaţi se aflau într-o misiune de patrulare pe Autostrada A1 (Qalat - Kabul). Patrula, formată din patru transportoare amfibii blindate, a fost atacată de forţe insurgente cu armament uşor şi aruncătoare de grenade, la aproximativ 50 km de Qalat, fiind lovite două transportoare.

În urma atacului, fruntaşul Claudiu Marius Covrig, aflat în primul dintre transportoare, a fost ucis. Militarii răniţi au primit asistenţă medicală la faţa locului şi şi-au continuat misiunea, participând la securizarea zonei conform procedurilor standard de operare în astfel de situaţii.

În sprijinul militarilor atacaţi a fost trimisă forţa de intervenţie rapidă a batalionului. Militarul decedat a fost transportat la Baza Lagman din Qalat.

Conducerea Ministerului Apărării îşi exprimă profundul regret pentru această pierdere şi este alături de familia greu încercată". "

This time it was not an IED attack but an ambush involving small arms and RPGs. No word on casualties inflicted on the attackers.

Seems you had no problem with the manowar song lyrics

Kevin in Deva

Nothing to do with who died and who is admin.

A very basic rule of this forum is that posts are to be in English.

If that gets up your nose then tough titty kiddy.
