"I want that guy or guys to STFU about what went down in that OP. " That. Yes, I believe the Mouth In Chief opened the door to talking about OPs that should NEVER be publicly discussed, but does it mean we should follow through that door? No.

“Blessed be the Lord my Strength, who teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.” Psalm 144:1 Sgt Eddie Jeffers' favourite verse. (Died September 2007 in Iraq...) THIS that you write of here, makes a mockery of all our American Fallen Heroes.

One of my all time favourite Falkland Islands /Military videos is Dire Straits Brothers In Arms.. http://youtu.be/FvE97zz5loc On the Falklands issue, I am sure you all know that in a recent referendum of the Falkland Islanders, an overwhelming majority (high 90's) voted to remain British..I'd say that vindicates Mrs Thatcher's defence of the Islands. Love her or hate her (even from ignorance as john whosit shows below - especially as he claims all Irish hate her - he obviously doesn't know the Irish I know...lol) nobody could ever doubt her passion for her country..Would be wonderful if even those who purport to hate her could at least accord a modicum of decency on her passing.But yeah, pigs will fly. [AB who also goes by TankerBrosBrat...these sign ins are so damn confusing some days.]
