just started the 3 Para book myself and have Sniper one ready for afters...

having read others about 2 & 3 Para in the Falklands it really brings home to you how things in the world are very different (technology in battle for one!) and also at the same time very, very similar to 25 years ago...

having not finished it yet, i cant really comment on it too much, but having only got into page 90+ it really brings home to me how much we can't afford to tag all our youth with the 'hoodie chav' label... what i am reading about are modern day hero's with the same sort of brave spirit that their predecessors had before them... my hat goes off to each and every man and women in the not so nice places in the world... you may not have books written about you, but you're all hero's the same...


on a foot note.... any one watch the band of brothers???

wild bill and babe heffron have just released a book about their life experiences... (brother in battle).. i have stuck my order in at amazon...
