''The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war,no matter how justified,shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation'' --George Washington--
I am appalled by this as it was reported. I have seen similar events take place within my own work experiences but nothing with such tragic consequences. My own field simply does not carry the same risk element but it is not made any easier with asshole jobsworths who claim to serve and understand the responsibility but fail time & time again to supply effective levels of appropriate resources to do the job and give necessary support where necessary. In the case of military, this is essential. But we are spending more than ever on this and that.......is the claim. What bollocks. Just try offering suitable words to the N'of Kin. It doesn't work. This could have been avoidable.
All we can do is keep on fighting for better for all who lay their lives on the line for their Country whether it be military or police/fire/medic. Sometimes the Blog is mightier than the sword, thanks for your input,
RG. Have you seen this ?
ReplyDeleteIf there is any thread of truth this is appalling.

Ministry of Defence has suggested that Cpl Wright had detonated the mine himself by moving.
