I can see some of Cameron's conversations in Afghanistan...
Hello Private, we are all proud of you back home, never mind you will be back in the Uk before you know it...
Actually Sir we rotate out and are back to the UK next week...
Ohhh good for you son, going to the Olympics?
No sir?.... I have arranged a coupe of weeks away for the wife and kids...
No Private, you misunderstood me, you ARE going to the Olympics.......
