@SoozUK Slave Trade. Yup. We abolished the Atlantic Slave Trade but sadly despite raiding the Barbary Coast were unable to prevent Arabs continuing their centuries old trade which continues to the present day. Good chat.

Throwback Thursday. Infantry soldiers need to be able to reach the battlefield ready to fight, and in many cases that means getting there on foot. In this 1980s video Riflemen can be seen competing in an inter-platoon march and shoot competition, which was a twist on the CFT.

@buhashee @Osinttechnical I think they thought they could straddle the mines - that’s done more often that you’d think. Based on the delay between crossing the mine-line and detonation, I think they successfully straddled the mines, which turned out to be magnetically initiated. Boom boom.
