HM Forces a more positive public image than at any time since the Falklands War. Personally I found this to be slightly worrying given the involvement in various theatres in the last twenty or so years, as well as continuing operations, which sadly involved loss of life during the time of the Games.
Is the lesson learned that every now and then troops should be seen to be protecting/helping the public in more direct ways than fighting offshore?
Should they be issued with a more appropriate civilian battledress for such occasions? or does desert compfague highlight the point and thus the deterrent, that these boys have seen action?
