    The term Weapons of mass destruction wasn’t used during the first Gulf War.

    Just read the book and it's a sorry tale of where the SAS were then.
    Stirling would have given much for a Defender 90 - a far more capable vehicle than his Jeep!
    He also valued intelligence and wiliness above bravado and fearlessness.
    I'm sure the Paras are a good source of recruits for the SAS but the lack of knowledge, acumen and forward thinking in these 'Bravo tales' is telling.

    It was a massive calamity apart from Vietnam because I said at the time if we pull out the TALIBAN would make tje country even worse, served with these great men in a different capacity, intelligence was wrong on such a high level

    A readable book and as a former UK soldier very relatable. The issues faced by the Bravo patrols were every bit as real as the issues faced by the average Tom on the ground. 30 years will have distorted some facts I'm sure, but you got to make the book readable at a fast pace.

    Bravo 2 Zero was a fairy story McNab failed as commander on the ground and tried to blame big Vince. RIP Vince and Wee Bob 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Veteran

    This sounds like the same Patrol that Mike Curtis wrote about in "CQB"

    I remember as a kibbutznik , rushing to a prepared room on more than one occasion during the first gulf war and " sealing" the door against airborne threats and checking our gas mask kits - one of the number in the group assigned to that room was claustrophobic , and needed calming down - thanks to the likes of the SAS , Israel wasn't drawn into the fighting

    I was on the Bravo 4 zero patrol, we entered Kuwait tasked to find a chippy that was open late, which we did on the third day but were compromised and had to scatter and escape and evade, I made it back to base with 3 cod and chips and a mushy peas but sadly the guys with the battered sausage and pies were captured and forced to hand over their chippy teas. One lad managed to hide a savaloy all through his capiture and on returning home it was presented to the Queen.

      Do you think anybody, especially the higher echelons had any idea what these guys were going into? Or what they were up against? I certainly don't think a brief changes the risk on the ground.
      Every mission for these guys has the potential to be suicide mission, even when they have the proper intelligence and kit, which if you read all the books they had neither of
