Wondering - if I'm seeing correctly, I think you've deleted your post. No-one would try and tell you what you can and can't post as it's an open forum (free speech etc etc). Hopefully you're not too upset at our banter - you ARE entitled to your own opinion but it was just a little out of place in this thread. Perhaps start a totally new thread with thoughts like that??? No offence intended, anyway.
Back to the point...... It is kind of ironic that a totally different country's public think more of us than our own government. Now I'm not really politically inclined but a friend of mine has been working with the US and had his LOA taken off him (as mentioned previously) when he went on ops. BUT, he also wasn't entitled to the "packages" (such as phone cards etc etc) from either country. Nothing from the US (and, frankly, why should they when he's a Brit) and diddly squat from the Brits `cos he was working with the Americans!!! Utter Bo11ocks.
