No, it is an OVER estimation. Many Arab nations had been
involved in conflicts and wars for a long time andat least they
have combat experience. Even though some Malaysian forummers had
CLAIMED that MAF have combat experience, which war or conflict did
the expereience come from? Somalia and Confrontasi? Ha..ha..ha... I
will go into that more later.
Blooded from which conflict/war? More likely blood coming from
scraped hands and knees during the 40km march. However, more on
that later.
More likely, moaning when about to die.
The British forces formed the bulk of resources in the
insurgency and the SAS were the most effectively employed troops
then. The forces were also led by a British commander. Therefore
the above statement is BOOLSHEET!
The originator of the quote is humble. He had not claimed credit
for MAF's contribution in the recent Iraq War. In fact, if not for
MAF, the Americans, British and Australian would not have won. What
is not publicly acknowledged was that the entire MAF dressed as
American soldiers and drove the M1s in the drive into Iraq. The
Americans only entered Iraq when MAF had defeated all opposition.
The MAF then returned the American uniforms and M1s to the rightful
owners before quietly departing leaving the credit for the
Americans!
Oh incidentally, that's how the originator's claims that the "Most
Malysian servicemen have been blooded" claim can be
explained.
Let them march for 10 hours and get to the combat zone
exhausted. We will use our Bionix and other transport to deliver
our troops fresh.
How nice. Even trained them to dig their own graves. All we need to
do is to cover up the graves. Incidentally, 8 hours is nothing to
boast about is it?
