Despite the the title this is not a post relating to the rights or wrongs of the actions of the US government or Seal team 6. RatherI ask this:

Who is right in terms of pubilcising Special Forces operations?
America positively celebrates SF success with patriotic fervour whilst the UK government never comments on the activities of its SF teams.

Would Accy webbers prefer to know what the SAS, SBS, SRS & SFSG etc were achieving in the war zones we are engaged in (a la US policy) or revel in the mystique perpetuated by our "powers that be"?

Or indeed are we bothered either way?
