SASless, Wholly agree, and wish to apologise if my remarks seemed crass and insensitive, I did not intend them to be. To this end I have deleted my previous post; I also wish to pass on my condolences to all involved. I assure you each time I learn of any casualties in that sh*t hole, whether they be American, Brit or other Ally, I cannot help but feel dispair, together with a feeling that the cost is far too great.
