I hope everyone is as common-sense minded as you.  What the public at large fails to realize is that the emotional effects are the same to each and every family that loses a soldier, whether it's our "back-page" UN casualties or the in-the- black, multi-edition-selling Afghanistan troops and their losses. Too well do I remember Wallace and Bons (since I see their memorial every day), and Isfeld an Cooper (I was on that tour, or Jim Ogilvie (stood at his memorial in Bosnia on 11 Nov 2004). Take a look at this List and tell me how many you remember. Soldiers and the Military do what the Govmt tells them to. It's a simple job really. All we have to do is our very best and that's more self-serving than anything else.  Where would Mr Hunter's Boy be if Sgt Gillam wasn't able to provide a little warning to his troops? Has Mr Hunter talked to Maureen Gillam yet? Does he know his son is only likely alive due to the fact Chris gave up his to get some shots off? Ex-cop or no; he should know better. I forgive him tho' as it's most likely emotion speaking. I too would be horrified to have a child of mine hurt but would also engage brain before speaking so publicly. Rant over. The opinions and views expressed above are mine and mine alone. Who's wearing Red today?? regards Darrell
