The Warrior is one of my favorite British AFVs. I didn't know much about it before CMSF, but came to appreciate it's gun, protection and carrying capability. It is also a good looking fighting vehicle (GLFV?).

"GLFV" ... like that ... it should come into usage like the infamous "BFG."

"Big Fucking Gun" is the only meaning I've heard of that acronym.

The Warrior is an excellent IFV and fully deserves the affection that "dirty dismounts" have for it but try staying awake & alert when you've been inside it for hours at a time, it ain't easy!
