I must say since my daughter has started serving in the armed forces my attention has been drawn to how it runs and reports etc.
Lack of materials and manpower in the UK forces is obviously evident but the worst of all is its reporting {I also presume this is the same states side.}
When a serving soldier dies in action and it is reported AFTER what happens on big brother or the weather forecast it is truly a sad affair. I instigated the military news reporting on this site just so at least those that come here can get up to the minute news from the frontline.
When I say that the USA and UK are NOT peacekeepers as the media says but we are involved in a war I can only say this from the bottom of my heart and add that we should get our asses out and let them sort it out their way............ and I can only thank god that she has not been assigned there and my heart goes out to each and every member of the armed services and their families
