Despite the fact that this is already receiving widespread front page media attention. this demands a post on this military-leaning blog. Muslims, as everyone will know by now, protested when the 2nd Battalion Royal Anglicans marched through Luton to mark their return from a tour of Basra. There were 12 […]

Yesterday marked the 11th anniversary of Operation Flavuis. Danny McCann, Seán Savage and Mairéad Farrell planned to explode a car bomb at the location where a military band was due to gather for the weekly Changing of the Guard at the Governor’s residence. Most people think that they know the […]

This is the cruiser USS Port Royal, or, as St Crispin would see it, A-Gun-Platform-I-Can-Shoot-At-Things-From. However the State of Hawaii sees it differently. A revenue opportunity. Does the world really regard this 9,600 tons-and-change guided-missile cruiser as they do? On the 5th Feb somebody managed to lodge it on top […]

TheEye tends to avoid religious issues but this blog has military and political interests so this Parliamentary question is very relevant here.

Dempsey, established beachheads in Normandy. A force of about 152,000 Allied soldiers from the United States, Britain, and Canada were supported by […]

French military aircraft were unable to fly for a few days last month after their systems were knocked out by the “Conficker” virus – which World+Dog was warned about back in October.They didn’t start to apply patches until 16th Jan. This lack-of-airforce was not noticed by the Free World. Or […]

Whilst promising to return with a more serious post, TheEye didn’t think it would be this serious. There are times when the self-imposed ban on becoming a sweary blog is hard to maintain. From the DailyLabourGraph we learn: Council blocks home for maimed marine. Marine Joe Townsend (20) put his […]

There continues to be speculation in the British Press that HMS Endurance could be scrapped. Two articles and a paragraph or two quoted from The News (Portsmouth’s unoriginally named daily newspaper) “HMS Endurance May Be A Total Write-Off” “The navy is considering scrapping HMS Endurance because of the damage she […]
