He wanted to go but the government pulled the plug on him. Ya gotta give him credit for wanting to stay with his fellow soldiers BUT his presence would be nothing but a signal flare over their heads.

The insurgents and Iranians would have a price on his head and the people around him would be the ones to suffer for it. I tip my hat to the kid but I also tip my hat to the Brits for recognizing a bad situation.

IF the damn press would keep their mouths shut from time to time he'd be nothing more than another helmet BUT it makes the headlines. It's a damn shame when paper sales are more important than lives.

Have a good one!:s4:
