I was amazed at the news this am. The number of desertions is at an all time high. There must ba a message in there somewhere. Still at least we don't frag our Ruperts.
I was forced to watch an excellent film last night "
A Very Long Engagement", I thought that it would be a bit girly but it left me moved. It is about self mutilation in time of war.
My Grandfather had to witness a firing squad during WW1. He was fifteen and had lied to get into the mob. He wrote a very moving piece about it when he became a journo later in life. It left me in tears.
