    like the previous incident a few weeks ago.

    A SBS source said: ‘The guys are fighting in inhospitable desert and mountainous terrain against highly committed and well-equipped Houthi rebels. The SBS’s role is mainly training and mentoring but on occasions they have found themselves in firefights and some British troops have been shot.

    They need to get better liars.

    Also, nice skewering the double standards of the media when it comes to the weapons both sides use to kill people, Ken. I notice they then try to play the "child soldier" excuse.

    The conflict has also seen British Special Forces fighting on the same side as jihadis and militia which use child soldiers. This is because Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, its main partner in the war, have bribed Yemeni tribal leaders with links to Al Qaeda to take their side in the conflict.

    Some fairly damning revelations/slips of the tongue/keyboard in that article. I await the media firestorm on Monday morning....
