Dark Day

Its a dark day for the forces I fear.

Its the hard working people currently on Ops, who will feel let down most by these greedy, unprofessional and "celebrity seeking" individuals. Its an absolute disgrace!

Admittedly, it was pure PR spin in Iran (however, put yourself in their shoes folks, for a brief moment). But ever since they had been released, the PR train steamed ever forward, at the detriment of the three services and serving service individuals.

The Government nor the MOD has come out of this with any credibility at all. The staged scenes we saw in Iran, have been paled into insignificance since the hostage circus came home. Lets all hope this is a nasty dream, and we wake up for work, with all our professional integrity intact.
