Comfort Letters
Is it now reasonable for serving personnel to request being issued with a Comfort Letter based on allowed actions being followed within stated RoE´s prior to being deployed on Ops ?
I suspect that the political types ( JM being the exception ) have no idea of the damage this is causing to the fabric of our military ethos, and in the case of the Labour Party probably don´t give a toss. With this insanity spreading, how long before somebody starts looking at the actions of various people during the Falklands conflict, GW 1, etc ?
As HMG seems to have no interest in protecting veterans, is now the time for personnel to start to take reasonable grounds to protect themselves from any future examination of their actions during times of conflict ?
