This is aboslutely right....but it is this man who will pay the penalty for their hubris, their sabre rattling.....for putting young service men and women into an intolerable situation.
I am sure that I recently read that the Taliban captured soldiers, executed them and then hung body parts from the trees......no Geneva convention protection for those boys.
And I'm sure the Taliban would celebrate the loss of British lives..it is just that we don't see it...no head cam footage stored to a laptop.
