Rick W Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 You forgot to add "To prevent being shot at by their own side again"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Reminds me of when I first got my 101 Ambulance. I asked some RAMC who'd served in the first gulf war if they ever used the flaps on the top to cover the cross, the reply was 'Yes, our guys knew what we were , so we didn't need them. The Yanks thought the cross was a target'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
