Thanks Mog, was unaware of those personality dynamics, and will read the rest of the book with that perspective overlaid.
First reaction was it's crazy that egos and inter-personal conflicts still blow up amongst those who are leading the people who are fighting and dying - but then on reflection it's been that way throughout military history, and probably always will be!
I continue to find Falklands stories absolutely extraordinary - and am working on the screenplay.
