People forget how nasty a war Iraq was. Afghan seems to get all the attention. I was in Basra during the summer of 2007. The COB (Basra Airport) was getting hit multiple times a day. Lots of personel wounded and equipment destroyed.
OcelotOtherwise on
I’m willing to bet that even with all he went through, he still doesn’t know what was he doing there!

A little correction, he is Karl Hinett, [here](https://scarfree.org.uk/our-ambassadors/karl/). I specified because if you search the name you’ve mentioned nothing pops up
Downvotes, for what?
