Shhhhhh

I think the dead soldiers of both world wars would be turning in their graves if they could see what is going on nowadays, they knew that walls had ears, and loose tongues cost lives. Politicians and the purveyors of news were in those days careful about what they said and whom they said it to. Things were on a need to know basis in those days but above all the moral of our troops was important. They had to know we were doing our bit at home, after all they were fighting for and in lots of cases dying for the freedom of the western world. Most of these lads were conscripts, although a good deal of them volunteered in either case they knew they stood a good chance of not coming back, but still they went.
Its different now though, all you have to do to get any information about troop moral or the condition of the equipment they have (or don’t have) is watch the news. If that isn’t bad enough you are bound to get journalists standing in key areas of major cities giving tips on the best place and time to commit a terrorist attack. Britain’s soldiers are woefully under equipped and it’s a disgrace that we ask these men and women to risk their lives for what many believe is an unnecessary war, without spending the money that will at least give them a fighting chance. Still I dare say its needed for art grants or another millennium dome or something.
