US 'won't share secret of beating roadside bombs'

Daily Mail on Sunday report

According to a report in the UK paper, the Daily Mail on Sunday, US commander are refusing to share their secret technology which is being used as a counter-measure to the most prevalent and successful tool on the battlefield of Iraq and Afghanistan, the IED. Surely, if such a claim is found to be true, would lead to yet a futher reluctance on British commanders to commit to the fight.

Well that's gratitude to you!

We're shedding our blood and this is the thanks we get?

As i've said before we're supposedly allies, but we get treated like dirt half the time. I don't expect special priviliges, but at least to be treated with some modicum of respect.

i seen a documentry on this not long ago.

If the US wont hand over the tech to our UK troops then its about time we made them go in first on every mission whilst our SAS boys sit back, drink tea and combe there moustaches.

We might share this with you British once you decide to send us a copy of the plastic tank you guys built

Plastic Tank? We should start a thread on that one
