#1 Well done, as usual.

The comparable article at the Guardian adds this quote:

"After working with the Americans you won't find a man in this company who doesn't have the highest respect for the American Marines, for the threat they face on a daily basis and the casualties they take on a daily basis.

"The support we had from them was outstanding. It felt like the whole of the Marine Corps air wing was watching over us and that gives you an enormous feeling of reassurance."

#2 "Iâm very happy to be out of Dogwood but the operation isnât over until weâre back in Scotland - thatâs when the fat lady sings, when we are back with our families. "When we touch down in Edinburgh Iâll be singing I can tell you."
