think this is a different type of war from where British national servicemen were sent into 'combat' against the 'communists' in Malaya or the Mau Mau in Kenya to defend the Empire . There were no television cameras allowed to show the atrocities perpetrated by the British forces against local insurgents (think the BBC propaganda at the time ..Mad Mitch and the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders in the Aden crater ....the guy at the time was a British hero )
