TELL ME APART FROM THE NATO WAR GAMES WHEN WAS YOUR COUNTRY LAST IN A WAR? WAS IT WW2 WHEN YOU WERE OVERRUN BY THE GERMANS? OR ARE YOU ALL PART OF THE COALITION FORCES AT IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN AT THE BECK AND CALL OF THE BIG WHITE AMERICAN CHIEF. YES! WE ARE ALL AWARE OF THE UNs PRESENCE IN AFGHANISTAN AND ITS TOKEN FORCES I AM ALSO AWARE AS THE REST OF THE WORLD AS TO WHO CALLS THE SHOTS AT THE UN SECURITY COUNCILS. BUT ARE YOU AWARE THAT MY COUNTRY WAS ONE OF THE FOUNDING MEMBERS OF THE UNO? AND DO LOOK UP THE UN SITE YOU WILL FIND THAT MY COUNTRY HAS ALWAYS SENT CONTINGENTS TO UN FORCES RIGHT FROM KOREA TO ANGOLA , SOMALIA, CONGO.ARE YOU AWARE THAT ONE OF OUR OFFICER LOST HIS LIFE IN CONGO.CHECK MY POSTS IN THIS FORUM AND YOU WILL GET THE DETAILS.
ND AS YOU CORRECTLY POINTED OUT BUT DID NOT ELABORATE THE AFGHAN WAR IS BEING RUN BY THE COALITION FORCES AND NOT THE UN FORCES.
PONTIFICATION WITHOUT HAVING PARTICIPATION IS PERHAPS THE EASIEST OF THE VICES. OF MY 18 YRS IN SERVICE I HAVE SPENT A GOOD 14 TO 15 YRS FIGHTING THE LOW INTENSITY PROXYWAR THAT PAKISTAN HAS BEEN WAGING AGAINST MY COUNTRY. THE PERSON HO WEARS THE SHOE KNOWS WHERE IT PINCHES. THIS AGAIN IS A FALLL OUT OF THE PARTITION OF INDIA AND PAKISTAN IN 1947. BY THE WAY YOU TOO ARE ADVISED TO GET YOUR FACTS CHECHKED UP, MY COUNTRY HAS CONTRIBUTED SUBSTANTIALLY IN THE RECONSTRUCTION OF AFGHANISTAN AND ITS PRESENT PRESIDENT SWEARS BY OUR COUNTRY. YES! YOU ARE RIGHT SOMEONE HAD TO CLEAN UP THE MESS AND WHO BETTER THAN THOSE WHO CREATED THE FRANKESTEIN?

CHEERIO AND CHECKMATE PARTNER!
Is this NOT your profile as posted on this site?
Date of Birth: June 20, 1965 Age: 41 Country: India Military Status: Active duty Rank/Title: Lieutenant Colonel Branch: Infantry Time in Service (TIS): 18 Interests: Mil History Gender: Male

According to THAT profile posted on this here site you are infact an LtCol?
Or are you denying writing that intro?

Yes, your guys were in Congo back in the 60,s, so where our forces...BTW, you forgot to mention in the post about your glorious officer killed in Congo during the 60,s that the GRG that destroyed the armoured vehicles was Swedish, fiered by the men of 10:th mech inf coy (SWE)..
And that the general inspector responsible for deploying UN troops to Congo back then were Swede Dag Hammarskiöld.
I know one person that was actually deployed to Congo during the UN mission there.
According to that gentleman (Sgt Lars Gunnar Björklund) the Irish and Swedish battalions bore the brunt of that mission..(care to comment Sir?)
But I was talking about the current conflict that is being handled by MONUC and between the MONUC forces an EU task force (Operation ARTEMIS).

Sweden were never overrun by the Germans during WWII mate, Sweden did however reinforce the Finns and stopped the worlds largest army cold,I´ll give you a hint (red flag).. check facts again.
Oh and NATO wargames? We are part of PFP and a few other peace organizations.
Sweden have never been a part of NATO..Check facts again Sir..

With regards to Afghanistan..OEF forces are in country hunting terrorists, It´s a joint venture between NATO countries and a few neutral ones operating under the UN selfdefence codes.
This force is independent from the ISAF forces incountry..You should have seen that if you had checked the links I provided you with...Sir..

You have been fighting rag tag bands of Pakistanis at your border?
Wow, you are da man Sir!
Given the intensity of that conflict you must be the go to guy on all things military.
Kashmir...was it ever cleared up to what country it belongs?

What I have done or are doing in my military career is not for you to question, nor will I answer that before you put in an official request (and get it granted).
I´d be more then happy to give you a demonstration of my current work..

As you have NO, ZERO experience from the African continent according to yourself, arguing with you is even less rewarding then with somalia dude since atleast he has a clue about what he´s talking about..Although I personally feel his views are slanted.

You have nothing to offer on the subject...Sir..
But when in for 15 years you should have known better then to try.
