krattoss: I don't believe in all these voodoo stuffs . I know a seargent femi by name from Ogbomoso, he believes in charms a lot and his not ashame always boasting and confident of them. He was lucky when a bullet grazed deep into is left leg during an attack in Kekeno, very close to Niger Republic. The last time I saw him was in Borno - Park with a crush-stick. 3 Likes |

You are comparing two issues with different reality. The US troops died on foreign soil, so yea, it will be investigated, we are fighting a war in our own country, how many countries carry out thorough investigations when fighting wars in on their own land? It's largely a waste of time, it's called war, and soldiers will die, all they can do is learn from whatever mistake was made and move on. Soldiers are expendable, whether people wanna hear it or not, i don't think they are, i meant those at the top. If leaders of today have their own kids on the front lines, you will see we won't have that many wars lol, who wanna lose their kid. But other people's kids? why not. I'm sure Nigerian lawmakers and the President wouldn't send their kids out there in a war zone in a light skin pickup truck. So that's the reality. And as for the US investigations, if you rarely have soldiers die in such situation, then investigating what went wrong is not new, but if you are engaged in a bloody war? Please, they don't investigate sheet. Imagine US and Russia fighting a war against one another ( Hypothetical), is America going to investigate the death of over 80,000 potential deaths of their troops? With what resources? But it's only 4, so yea, nothing new there. Doesn't mean we can't do better, we surely can. komekn: 2 Likes |

Odunayaw: The Scorpion was one of the first vehicles I was introduced too and drove in. That was donkey years ago. Things have moved on so much that for most western countries they are classed as obsolete. However, in that is an advantage. Three are so many armoured platforms classed as obsolete that can be picked up for literal peanuts and I mean peanuts. In some regards with good diplomacy for nothing as a friendly nation. That there is no reason we should be driving around in soft skinned pick up trucks, WHAT SO EVER. Add to that when I look at the cost of a Toyota gun truck and a used APC multiple options and origins. I am BEWILDERED is there no Ingenuity in our procurement and best value. There are armoured platforms that atwe over 25 years old but with barely 5000 miles. So what are out guys doing looking for DEALS ❓ ❓ You can pick up a BTR 60 for $5k bulk buy they are not great but better than hilux. I see expensively trained AFSF combatants in the back of a pick up. It's like after training to be a formala one driver yoi are given a 504 to drive. So don't get the wrong end of the stick, this is positive constructive criticism. I have often thought of procuring and donating to units in the NA but discovered from enquiries. That the powers that be were opposed to the idea. I wonder why ❓ ❓ 4 Likes |

Reading some of the latest entries on this thread, one may be forgiven for considering whether belief in black magic plays a significant role in the unacceptable losses of NA soldiers lives in the North East. Heck, it may account for why Nigeria army appears reluctant to do as Beegeagle cries hoarse daily or even as the likes of komekn suggests. Instead of your Sukhois, Mikoyan and Scorpions waste of money, Military brass probably expects Nigeria soldiers to fly over massed Bokoharam terrorists on broomsticks ,lobbing charmed hand-sized candle-lit pumpkins in addition to warding off bullets in their charmed soft-skin hiluxes. 4 Likes |

Sizzorkay:Please, most western armies investigate deaths (even if in their hundreds)and that investigation is the reason why there's a lesser likelihood of another soldier dying like the former. There are multiple coroner reports ( or inquests in particular if questionable) of soldiers who died in wars, army bases (home or abroad), etc. The outcome of this mostly results in new better measures to prevent more deaths. Coroners or inquests identified Logistic failures, lack of uparmouring, poor recon were some of the past examples uncovered which they quickly ameliorated. How many times have we learnt in ours about Base security, infantry vehicle, etc. Face it, our doctrine is inadequate and not adapting, this is why things like this keep repeating... 3 Likes |

You guys must really enjoy dragging your own kind in the mud. What's wrong with their dressing? Bro, go out a little more, if you don't, here in New York cops do this regularly, and I'm sure it's done in other developed countries. So he's wearing street clothes, smoking cigs, and that's new or bad because? Perhaps i should show you a vid of an American cop in uniform having sex on top of his patrol car in broad day light.

komekn:Let me ask you these first. Why does the Colombian and Mexican army use pick-ups then? Before you go further, outside Afghanistan and Iraq, Colombia has the record for the conflict with the highest number of mine related KIA and WIA. Let me also state, there is no APC in existence that can protect soldiers from 23mm rounds. Even the Russians deploy motorised infantry in Pick-up trucks in combat operations in Syria. |

Let me just add, apart from the resources which would help a lot. Mentality shift is needed. 450 British soldiers died in Afghanistan since 2005. This includes offensives, non combat issues and others. Soldiers while they are to face death should not suddenly be treated as cannon fodder. I followed Syrian battlespace heavily for a while and it was until they almost began to run out of manpower they began to improvise. Go read spioenkop, reddit and other blogs for some of the evolving it took especially during the offensive to clear out isis then caliphate. 1 Like |

Are you a kid? I sit down in one 3rd world village? That alone tells me how inferior you must be feeling inside. yes i live in NY, that was never a secret since beeagle days, been here 17yrs, so what? Unlike some people, i won't throw my country under the bus, no matter how bad. call it a 3rd world country all you want, again, go out more, come to Brooklyn and i will show you poverty, or try the Bronx, have you been to Trump Tower on 5th ave and 57th street in Manhattan? Come here and see whites, blacks Asians etc, sleeping on the sidewalk inside cardboard boxes, or by the stairs to the Churches on the block. No country is perfect, the West just knows how to hide their own imperfections, while fools like yourself think they are god and we should emulate them. And yes, NY is full of plain clothe officers, i know a few, and been harassed by a few, ain't nothing new. And to think i will lie to you about where i live? That's idiotic, since you are irrelevant to me. And as for the officer caught having sex on the hood of his vehicle, this was in the news, google it, so i didn't make that up. I bet if those were white guys, you'd call them badass wouldn't ya? lol, this kid. Judging people by looking at a simple pic that doesn't even show much, all cos he was smoking and wearing street clothes? that's sad So we are done here dude. abiodunalasa: 6 Likes |
