I do not want for anyone to have to face the loss of a loved one, and if that can be prevented by providing the correct safety measures and equipment for our forces, it is something which I will back 100%, I have always had and always will have the utmost respect for our forces and for the work they do.
A call for an end to the speculation in the media is not saying that nothing should be done to give them what is required, it is purely and simply that no changes can be brought about without having the facts to back it up. Once the BOI has been presented then questions may be asked as then and only then, can they be informed questions and with a direction to aim for.
Until the BOI, we don't know what needs to be asked or what needs to be addressed.
I have a fantastic VO, a man who has tried to prepare me as best he can to face each and every obstacle along this tragic journey. He's not just my VO, he was also a good friend to my lost one, he flew with him and shared many memories with him. I know he, and many men such as him, I'd chance to say most if not all at ISK or who work with the Nimrods, want to know the true facts and want to know that this can and will be prevented from happening again. We all have an interest in the outcome.
Please remember that while we all want to know why our men died, why we feel so empty and alone and why so many children cry, we are grieving for those lost and we all wish to do so in our own way.
