Why that is quite a break down. For those who don't know where Vanuatu is, it;s East of Australia. they have a bunch of islands and speak both English and French. Certainly a long way to go but they did it and have just gotten their kepis. Bravo to them and all the others.

You have all sorts and many forum members on board are of the same way of thinking. Disgusting attitudes for this day and age.

I remember when i was on a Driving course an instructor told me they had a female soldier who offered the testing officer "services" if he passed her on her driving test.. :D she was RTU´d quickly.

Seems to be a video floating around in direct contradiction to what happened at Notre Dame....It is odd that immediately "it was a Construction Accident." What about the video and supposedly a car found with lost of petrol and some literature.

Hate to say it, Europe for the most part is lost. France and the UK are over run, time to call in the danger close mission
I Agree.. It's sheer madness what the sick EU has done.

Never ever forget, especially you aspirants, Training is just as dangerous as a Combat Tour, Three killed in Training and Three killed in Afghanistan.

When you in the military you are on duty 24/7 and 365 days a year.

I don't know about this, but three years ago four of Orthodox churches went into flame in same day! It was Easter. Was that coincidence? Maybe.


One way or another is great tragedy for church with such history to went into flame.

BTW in 1389. bells on that same church ringed in the name of victory of Serbs over Turks in Battle of Kosovo (victory for Christianity over Islam).
