These are the headlines in the press in recent days, having recently purchased The First Casualty by Ricky D Phillips where in the first few paragraphs the author shows the utter contempt that the politicians of the day treated the military.
To forget or turn a blind eye to history could be a very costly episode. Our armed forces defends us night and day to preserve our way of life (whilst others are so keen and hell bent in destroying it). Freedom comes at a price, and not in monetary value alone, these are the men and women our politicians should be supporting today, and in the future. They are there to fulfill the wishes of their political masters and should never be under valued by the same.
