Has anyone see the photo in todays Mirror (20/8/07) page 19 of Sir Richard in Afghanistan yesterday. He looks like a man who has the weight of the world on his shoulders.

Another excellent article by mirror in its campaign to get forces fighting in South Afghanistan a medal.
Quote Maj Gen Nick Vaux said " I support the mirror all the way in its campaign to get a proper medal for service personnel. It is monstrous troops are not being recognised properley. There should be a special medal to recognise those killed or wounded, not just a clasp.

This government is so embarred by Afghanistan they try to dumb down or disguise casualty figures, not award medals or issue a campaign medal as it recognises this whole thing has escalated way beyond what the public expected"

Article can be read here * www.mirror.co.uk/news/...-19660953/

Please sign the broken covenant campaign by RBL at * <a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://www.britishlegion.org.uk/index.cfm?asset_id=516704">http://www.britishlegion.org.uk/index.cfm?asset_id=516704</a>

The government and GBP should hang their heads in shame for what they have done to our troops. It takes more than wearing a poppy for a day to show real support.
