JB, check out F street station while you are there, great halibut and chowder. People in Britain do not appreciate the sacrifices servicemen make. I don't know why, but listening to Blair the other day the BBC made it sound like he personally won the Kosovo war and Sierra Leone and Iraq was something he sincerely believed in and it was a terribly difficult decision to send British servicemen to war, don't you know. The media made no attempt to explain the sacrifices made by UK armed forces and the enormous debt that former CND Blair and his marxist mates owe them, for the foreign policy successes of the Blair years.
The cult of personality is based on celebrity and weasel presidential stylists like Blair, with little of interest in self-sacrifice. To be honest, I sometimes wonder why anyone bothers to stay in the services nowadays. Very few people care.
