Army Scrooge Spirit... (just a little flash..)
.... and only because I'm tired and grumpy!
Saw an article on page 2 of (what I assume was) today's telegraph about an Infanteer in Basra having a rant about the RAF "Dressing Pilots up as Santa", having a christmas party whilst the army were "all out on the dangerous streets" and a quote from him saying "they're [the RAF] just civilians in uniform".
Anyone find a link to said article? Things that really grip my.....
We've got enough problems without trying to knife each other in the back, and the infanteer in question really came across as a proper scrooge (from my folks point of view) who was just grumpy that he couldn't join in! I realise that this is (probably) not the case and I'm sure he's more tired and stressed than I am, and certainly not happy about being away from his loved ones getting shot at during crimbo, but really... to say things like that to a journo on the record... someone needs to have a word...
<Rant off>
Be safe guys, be it in a party mood or not...
