ICTChris Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) Beaten to it by Mackie The Staggie! The VDV were involved in a horrific defeat/heroic last stand in the second Chechen War, where 84 of 90 VDV were killed after being surprised by a group of Chechen and foreign fighters. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_for_Height_776 This has become a celebrated story of heroism and bravery in Putins Russia.

A bit off topic here One of the funniest things i ever heard on the radio was a programe about the Scottish people that went over to Spain to fight in the civil war in the 1930s Said to my mum "Why would anybody fight in a war that did not concern them?" She said "Why not listen and find out" First guy on "I seen what was happening in Europe It was simply we either stopped the Facists in Spain or we would have to stop them somewhere else We failed in Spain and had to fight the 2nd world war" A good excuse to go to Spain Next was a woman she said "I had just finished my training to become a nurse There were 4 of the boys in my tenement in Glasgow that had went over to fight I went over because of them" A good excuse to go Next guy "I believed that the ballot box was more important than the gun" Fair enough a good excuse to go Next they get this guy from Fife on As soon as he started talking at 100mph in his broad Fife accent i was laughing to myself as he was reminding me of someone i knew from Fife "I man at that time i was rebuilding the main st in Kirkcaldy The gaffer shouts at me to get that wheelbarrow of sand up here now! These were the days if you stopped to wipe the sweat from your brow you would get sacked on the spot I picked up the wheelbarrow and ran the length of the street with it The gaffer shouted at me when i got there i said now! I looked at him looked at the barrow of sand looked at him again and couped the barrow of sand over his feet and shouted at him i am away to Spain to shoot b*****ds like you !" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knew it was a Dunfermline fan who didn't come around anymore. The NTP reason for not being around now sounds pretty sinister going by the wording of your previous post though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
