No Fionn - Hope went out the window when the terrorists smashed the planes into the towers.

And as far as Drivel goes - I work for the Air Force and it is my unit that is doing the bombing over there. Unless you have experience in combat I'd suggest you speak easy about what is happening. It isn't all nice and pretty like what you play on your little gameboy. One's aim gets a bit off when others are shooting at you.

We buried our first casualty today. I buried others in another war. So if I am pissed - well so be it. And don't you dare frickin patronize me and the other combat veterans you pompous ass. You bet it bothers me that we are back at it again - but I believe we are doing the best we can. It's no win for the most part. And we are being as surgical as we can be. Where do the Taliban locate their valued items? Close as they can to places that will catch headlines when a shell goes off a bit.

You like your life so well - live it - but at what cost are you willing to turn your cheek - eh mate?

F**Kin pissed

Good on you Mick - Steve
