Victims, not heroes
Not for the first time in the Tony B Liar era, the general public and the press appear confused. IMHO all the captured service personnel were victims, rather than heroes and I believe we should differentiate between the two. If any of them has a shred of decency they will keep their memories of what happened to them during this sad, sorry incident out of the public domain. Of course they should be thoroughly de-briefed so that their experiences can be recorded and used to inform other personnel who might have to face a similar situation in future. However, a spate of service personnel displaying emotional incontinence in print and probably on TV will do nothing for the standing of the armed forces and is an insult to all those who have been killed or wounded in this conflict.
