Watched a Doco on BBC 4 last night
Dave Tompkins was a petty thief who craved adventure. His career as an international mercenary began in Africa and took him all over the world - to Afghanistan, Croatia and later to Colombia, where he led a team commissioned to assassinate notorious Columbian drug lord Pablo Escobar. He went out with Callan and Copland to Angola he was the explosives guy in the team. While laying some mines he was injured by one going off. Got casavact back to uk just before Callan executed some of his men. Peter McAleese featured. We had one guy in our squadron who was out there he told me that the only way he survived was to keep to SOP’s staying in the bush and no tracks/roads

The Ukranians are shit hot with their technology, especially Drones Bob. More or less advanced the methods of warfare. No wonder the Ruskies have recruted the help of the North Koreans. More targets to twat!

Old Kim Jonknackercracker or whatever his name is, was said to have been crying when he heard of the deaths of his soldiers in Ukraine. I think they got that wrong and the sadist twat was crying with laughter.

Like he said Jack, justice has been served, just a pity they didn't give the kettle to the young lass the evil bastard stabbed. He got away lightly in my book I would have boiled him in oil!
