Afghanistan
I do try to understand, I seriously do but let's try this one shall we.
Today, it is reported in the Telegraph that an SAS Reserve Officer has resigned over the supply of protective vehicles to soldiers operating in Afghanistan. What the newspaper is doing breaching rules on SAS personnel in respect of confidentiality agreements surprises me but that is another issue for another day.
My main point is that during the last couple of day many of my comments have been removed for being off topic, that is after they were allowed for quite a long time before the decision was made to remove them. Again, I can understand. They were about the situation in Afghanistn.
Now, during the week we had the new Defence Minister, Hutton, I believe, shown in a good light going onto the new vehicles to be delivered to Afghanistan.
Now, newspapers always clear things with the Ministry of Defence before printing because of national security and breaches of the law.
So, let me try this, the MoD hire an awful lot of people to go through the various blogs to see what is being said, sort of like moderaters. Could it possibly be that they don't like Project Griffin and therefore refer my various postings to the moderaters and they are then removed.
In the meantime we had the positive reports about troops returning to parades and loss of life being accepted as just one of those things which soldiers have to cope with. Did 2 Para not have to use these vehicles referred to by the SAS Reserve, why no complaints from them.
So, yes I do go on, but I think with just cause. The reason why the vehicles are not being sent is because the MoD don't want them to be sent just to be handed over to the new Afghan army when we change our role to mentoring.
No doubt this will be moderated out because it is off topic, but I can only hope not. It is what some think that matters it is what we say, in print, that is part of a free and open representative democratic country.
Finally, I am not a Tory, believe it or not. Does anybody seriously think that I can be accomodated by any group, please!
