Finally some support for the toil we suffer in Iraq. Farndale is spot on with his comments.
Still a shame that even while writing a pro-forces piece he still couldn't get his facts right.

He was referring to the jingoistic response of the British press to the Falklands war.
And he had a point. It still makes me shiver to think The Sun could report the deaths of 1,000 Argentinian sailors with a single word: "Gotcha!" But what a contrast with today.


A 30sec 'google' would have given him the truth......but hey, since when has truth and the press gone hand in hand........
