Hts Good is correct in what he says about RAF SH crews going on patrol. I did 2, one in ETB and the other around Aldergrove with the RAF Regt.
I don't doubt you and others did, but how many contacts did you have, how many times were you mortared or shelled? The point being made is that unless you've done what these guys have done or been through it, you really cannot make fair comment.
Sorry to say it but once again people with NO real knowledge of a Soldiers job and the stresses involved are passing judgement.
