Another death resulting from political chest beating on the grandest scale.
Although understandable I do find the mothers comments a bit strange though. At 22 he is hardly the youngest person to have served in Iraq and although being in harms way is not desirable to parents the chances of it happening is nevertheless part and parcel of being in the Armed Forces.
Sorry if I sound harsh but there seems to be quite a lot of "my little Johnny didn't join the Army/RAF/RN to go to war" in the press at the mo.
