Listening to a radio phone in last night, a Muslim phoned in to say how incensed he was at this. Well done to him. We need more to make their voices heard.

you say that they use hesh for anti-armour.i agree. but i wasnt talking about armour. you even agree that they have them in their tanks, as penetrator rounds but wont use them. stu the insurgents and militia werent cruising around in t-62s, and i dont believe that they would not use the weapons they have in the tank ready to use,why bring them?

Im sorry if this upsets you, i suspect you may have some military connection personal or family maybe which has prompted you too spring to the defence of the army.your knowledge of and use of language hints towards this. i mean no offense but not everyone in the army is a hero, you must know that on the ground in iraq and back her in uk there are many u.k infantary/marines/paras/tankers who just want to kill "pakis"
Uniquely among NATO main battle tank armament, the L30A1 is rifled, because the British Army continues to place a premium on the use of high explosive squash head (HESH) rounds in addition to APFSDS armour-piercing rounds.
HESH rounds have a longer range (up to 8 kilometres/5.0 miles) than APFSDS, and are more effective against buildings and thin-skinned vehicles.
Almost 100,000 people joined a Facebook group today to protest a planned Islamic extremist march through a town famous for honouring dead soldiers. Hate preacher Anjem Choudary, 42, announced on Saturday that his extremist group Islam4UK would march through the town of Wootton Bassett, Wilts, in the coming weeks.
