This is all Bo**ocks
I am impressed by the general level of comment in PPrune and the military forum in particular. At this time of international conflict when our troops are facing an uncertain future in the Gulf and their families are stressed by the possibility of their loved ones not returning, I find it mildly offensive that life continues as normal (my problem I know). That's life and ever must it be so. However what really grips me is the media with their constant presumption, uninformed comment and general melodrama which portrays an unproductive, pandering, speculative, compromising attitude.
Personally, I am very impressed by our leadership and our forces dedication and professionalism. I wish every member of our armed forces, be they airman or brigadier, God speed. I hope they are ignorant of the bullsh** that is going on in the press at the mo' and remain focussed on their task despite the personal stresses they face. In the meantime, Good Luck and Thank You. May your water be coid, may your NAPS not frig your guts for ever, may you return safely to those you value and may the World accept the right of individuals to be valued with equality.
