He means Comical Ali, who was a play on the actual Chemical Ali. Also Comical Ali was a much better pisstake than America's name for him "Baghdad Bob"

Is the Army getting involved? Military tanker drivers are ready to help deliver fuel. The BBC has been told that 75 military drivers are on standby initially, and another 75 could be added if needed. They will get training - which could take up to five days - to prepare for the deployment. Ministers say it is a "sensible, precautionary step" to offer temporary extra driver capacity.

I always imagined a lot of the more braggy veterans spent their time in the army unloading planes or peeling potatoes, there are 10 of those support soldiers for every actual combat soldier, so it's odd how all of them claim to have been paras.

I love the idea of the army fixes everything and I wonder if it ever actually gets put to the test and fails if it will be the seventh seal opening for the masses on how hosed we are. Very far from an expert but a little bird tells me that the army-- being a relatively small organisation these days--doesn't actually have that many tankers, that your average tom can't be trained into the necessary quals in the required timescale and that a substantial minority of the trained strength (what with it being a highly skilled, highly paid and in demand occupation) are reservists who wait for it... already work in the industry.

There’s a reason why France and Israel are hot poo poo on military equipment.

The RLC have probably got hundreds of HGV drivers, I assume the training is on operating the actual tanker bit (which is apparently quite complex). Good for them, it'll be nice for them to have some bragging rights for once - "Oh you were second bloke on the balcony at the Iranian embassy? Well *I* restocked Beaconsfield Services, guess which one did more to actually help the country keep going?"

The SAS do use the services of helicopter mechanics that are just helicopter mechanics. You don't need to train everyone on the SAS base to be SAS, you'd never get anything done.
