Peds as one of the resident infantry battalions in Cyprus 88-90 one of our more mundane tasks was helping to maintain the fire breaks around the camp and up on the golf balls in the Troodos mountains, Forest fires were a yearly occurrence. 

 

Well anyway, dude, I hate to pick holes in another man's work, but you must have done a shite job... because those Cypriot fires are nearly at Athens now!

 

Bloody immigrants, coming over here, burning our jobs, incinerating our benefits!

Oh, I see. So I guess what you are trying to say is that whatever you were doing 34 years ago and 900km away has absolutely f*ck all to do with the not-entirely-normal wildfires tickling Athens at the moment, and you just wanted to hear the sound of your own voice again by shoehorning your limited experience into the conversation.

 

Which is fine, everyone has the right to share their opinion. 🙂

😂what’s up peds, that’s that having the wrong opinion leftist rage manifesting itself again. What I said was wildfires were a yearly occurrence when stationed in Cyprus all those years ago  🤷‍♂️I have  no idea of what they do know or how they maintain the firebreaks. I presume you have a vast wealth of knowledge regarding wildfires on mainland Greece then ??. Well you banged it up twice Peds, I guess you wanted the omg climate catastrophe reaction not a bit of pragmatism regarding historical fact 🤷‍♂️.
