I'm afraid I don't find Boogie Nicey's contribution eloquently put. The quality of the English is actually rather poor. Furthermore, he misses the point by following Klingon's fifties family values agenda when the actual question at hand is the BBC's inability to see the perfectly acceptable dichotomy that there can be laudable individual acts of extreme courage worthy of dramatisation even in a war of dubious overall value or legality.

The BBC's position that the war (and everyone's part in it) must be seen as all bad is just plain wrong. However, the cause is not advanced by puerile rants applauding homophobia and calling people cross-dressers. The courage and dignity of Pte Johnson Beharry VC is worth more than some of the demeaning ranting going on here.
