Raider Magazine Volume 6 issue 3 Edizione posteriore

All Good?

What an absolute pleasure it has been seeing our units returning early from Afghanistan to their families and loved ones. The pictures of husbands and wives being reunited with their families has certainly brought the odd lump to my throat, and it is wonderful seeing them return safe and sound.

On the same note though, there are still a significant number of our brave lads and lasses still there doing their job, day in, day out, and our thoughts and prayers must remain with them as the drawdown continues. History has shown in many conflicts that as troop numbers fall steadily the enemy may try to exploit this vacuum by making some kind of last ditch offensive.

Let us also not forget the indigenous troops and associated personnel that have stood shoulder to shoulder with the ISAF troops. They will now take the brunt of any such offensive; not only that but there is the chance that they will be vilified and persecuted for taking a stand.

Onwards with this latest issue though!

Once again this month we’ve worked closely with the photographers and contributors out there to bring you the very best that we can when it comes to military reporting, news, and reviews. We always try to work as closely as we can with our friends on the design and manufacture side so that we can bring you the very latest, as soon as we can. We also strive to work with those offering high quality training packages so that you’ll know where to look to better your “tactical toolbox”.

Whether you are a serving soldier, a professional civilian operator, or just someone with a keen interest in military and survival matters I hope that you will find something of interest here, and believe me that the Team and I will keep it coming right at you just as hard and as fast as we can!
Raider; eye on the target and boots on the ground!
