Thanks Tourist, at last a balance and a line I can agree with.
Perhaps another "old war" practice we can resurrect is the banning of all personal cameras etc by military personnel whilst on duty unless specifically approved. Sadly, it seems that many youngsters today are unable to say or do anything without proudly announcing it to the world, so such a ban may prove impossible to impose.
My calling card was a bucket of sunshine so the quote "resonates" for me.
We have nuclear weapons yet send a man to jail for shooting a bad guy!!
Talk about sending mixed signals, when it is perfectly normalised that we may have to wipe out entire cities of innocent people but bad guys with a hurty tummy are off limits!?
