Not a flame, but his assumed nom-de-plume is "McNab." That is not his real name, so I am told. He doesn't want the "boys" from the IRA to look him up.
"Bravo Two-Zero" is a very good read (I haven't seen the movie, and didn't know it existed until this post). He mentions three items he calls "excellent bit of kit." They are:
Gore-Tex boots;
Small, but good quality, pocket binos; and,
USGI poncho liners.
"Immediate Action" has two hilarious moments:
(1) The improvisation that allows his unit to use their sunglasses under triple-canopy jungle; and
(2) The aftermath of a "Dear John" letter party involving hexie stoves, a lot of alcohol, spam, underwear, burning grass (and, did I mention, their encampment was next to the officers' club?).
I'm going to find the movie version of "Bravo" post haste.
Small spoiler: There is something very chilling in one of the book photos of the squad. You see eight faces, five of which have the eyes blocked out (to hide identity). You are thus allowed to look into the eyes of three men who do not need to hide their identities any longer.
