complex destroyed as per mission objective.Allah be praised.

Nope. Haven't been killed at all. All the cowardly Taleban ran away when they
saw them coming.

They'd hardly have to run, would they. One of the oddities of the
British Marines is that they carry an hundredweight pack, and by
training and equipment have an effective firing range of about 300
yards. This is not a putdown in any sense; I just wonder why.

Never mind, just make sure *you* don't sneak more than your fair share
