Ouch. The next thing will be Matt Lauer breaking the news about this hot new forum...and then SWC will be overrun with knuckleheads. Might as well start a new category for the Mall Ninjas...
By the way, I consider myself fairly intelligent, but I can't understand half of what Marc T writes. Does everyone else understand him or am I just dumb?
Hey, it's how I got here!
Damn man! Stop rocking the boat. I don't understand 50% of what I write and I don't think anyone else does either.By the way, I consider myself fairly intelligent, but I can't understand half of what Marc T writes. Does everyone else understand him or am I just dumb?

- The job of the British Army out here is to kill or capture Communist Terrorists in Malaya.
- If we can double the ratio of kills per contact, we will soon put an end to the shooting in Malaya.

I thought we had a thread for them already?
Well, I'd guess I understand about 60% of what I write . BTW, from what Rob (and my wife !) say, it's much worse in person !

As one of the new knuckleheads, I was wondering this myself. This is one of the few military-related forums I've found that didn't routinely devolve into "back in my day crabby crabby crabby" and "how can i get out of my contract..." I wonder how this place will weather the coming storm of "oh hay guys, I liek COIN too!"
To date, we owe our professionalism to Dave, Bill and the moderators. So no, we're not "edgy", like some blogs. Contrary to some accusations, we do have some readers younger than 40, although I'm not one of them.
Keep up the good work, guys.

and now I have an explanation (subject to confirmation through intense historical research accompanied by pallets of high-test beer) for the outcome at the Windmill.from marct

Your ancestor was designated PsyOps officer (with a voice of 10, nay 100 men) - and made his pitch to the Languedoc grenadiers. Not only did they not understand a word he said, his presentation put the rest of Murray's Highlanders to sleep. And, the rest is history as they say.
Ah yes, that's when we (as a family) gave up the direct action business ! Now, I will have to note that the Murray Highlanders were under strict orders to put cotton wool in their ears before the assault, however...
