I loved the video sent out...with narration by an "embedded" newsy with the US 3rd Herd......whilst his group of Tanks were waiting to hit the fuel bowsers.....Video Cam focused on our hero stuck in a tank turret....Newsy says...and now my camera man will pan around the horizon and give you a view of what we can see.....as the cam pans leftwards towards the direction of march....Newsy says....and there is the leading unit at the fuelling point.....cam continues to left to show column of other armored vehicles....stopped in the track.....and a Squaddie....standing in the open....legs apart....both hands clasped about the Wife's Best Friend.....doing what Wellington suggested to the young officer who asked what sage advice the Field Marshal had for a young man starting out in the Army...."Piss when you can!" It was slow pan left....rapid scan right!
