What matter whether this story is true or not.
The question posed was....simply....would you have the heart to extend such a consideration to a young girl who was missing her Father who was away in combat?
No need to argue about patriotism, the war, religion or anything else.
I posted the story merely because the thought of a Soldier doing a kind deed seemed a nice thought.
I wonder if I had changed the account to a British Military Airfield, British Soldiers, whether this thread would have a completely different tone?
It is a shame that folks cannot read a simple story and enjoy it for what it is, particularly when so many of them might themselves be the characters in the story one day.
I can just imagine the pleasure Skivvy Waver Blacksheep got when that call came through!
