Thanks Darrell. I thought this was the way, and it makes sense. I never took a call-out during my time in, so never looked up that stuff... if I ever learned it, it's long since faded!
A shame the media has to jump on sob stories like this - it surprises me a bit coming from the Sun, even though they pride themselves on being open to alternate viewpoints.
With regards the gentleman himself, why he would go after the Regiment is beyond me. I can only suppose that it's been so long since we've taken casualties so openly (a lot of our 'peacekeeping' casualties were back-page news if at all) that the public-at-large is ill-prepared to deal with the emotional effects of same.
