They get 'attaboy's or whatever, maybe they tell some bar slut they were in to get laid. Or you get crazy SF-impersonating fuckers who try to take over emergency situations and start telling FBI dudes what to do.

Sure, they "shot down" a Lynx that was already on the landing pad. I think they only ever managed to down one other helicopter.

Man, we sure dodged a major nuclear catastrophe there, because that Tornado that they ditched in a Forest could have totally hit and simultaneously detonated the gazillion US nuclear warheads stored underground in that airbase 10 miles away where they didn't ditch the Tornado.

I love the mad props they got from the Met Police;

quote:

Peter Gurney, the head of the Explosives Section of the Anti-Terrorist Branch who defused one of the unexploded shells, gave his reaction to the attack:
"It was a remarkably good aim if you consider that the bomb was fired 250 yards [across Whitehall] with no direct line of sight. Technically, it was quite brilliant and I'm sure that many army crews, if given a similar task, would be very pleased to drop a bomb that close. You've got to park the launch vehicle in an area which is guarded by armed men and you've got less than a minute to do it. I was very, very surprised at how good it was. If the angle of fire had been moved about five or ten degrees, then those bombs would actually have impacted on Number Ten."

"I mean yeah they're dicks but I can't not be impressed" is always a great police response to crime.

I think using the term unintentionally is being a bit generous. The situation you describe is generally reserved for the Red Army.
