lmfao @ this (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=387347&in_page_id=1770):


It is also understood that Apache attack helicopters were used in a separate incident for the first time since the UK assumed coalition control of the province.

The BBC reported that a Hellfire missile was used to destroy a French vehicle, which had been hit in fighting with the Taliban and could not be recovered.

Our comms room (I work in Apache IPT btw for those that didn't know) now has a french flag draped over the door with a big black cross on it, and "ENGLAND 1 - 0 FRANCE" written on it lol

Quite. We actually offered to *ahem* "Neutralise" the vehicle in question; apparently my colleagues tell me the French didn't quite realise that by "Neutralise" we actually meant "blow to smithereens". Ah well :D
