#1 God bless the fallen Brit soldier. I hold my breath every time I read that a Brit is killed in Afghanistan. My wife's cousin, a recently-married officer who was awarded the Military Cross for the 2005 Rorke's Drift redux battle in Afghanistan, has just redeployed back there.

#2 The british soldiers seem to be excellent warriors, but their MOD has its head where the light never shines.

#3 It's apparently ever been so. Read up on Wellington's Peninsula campaigns.

#4 Our own revolution was won primarily because the British "high command" were such idiots. Some of their mid-rank generals weren't too swift, either. Brave soldiers, lousy leadership - almost sounds like Vietnam...
