Paras in Sngin
They're at it again! Will we never learn?
If you want a war, send in the Para's.
We all hope not to be in the kind of bar fight where you have to take the lead off your bull terrior. Once you've slipped 'Rocky' off the chain, before vanishing in the opposite direction, you hope your victim's relatives don't know your home address.
Trouble is, since 1969 and arguably before, the British Government has been slipping 'Rocky' off the leash with disaterous consequences. Northern Ireland, Iraq, Afghanistan. What do these places have in common? The trouble got worse after the Para's came to town.
And now we see three regular Para regiments are getting ready for the Spring Offensive in Afghanistan in '08. Sure, we can rely on these boys to kick arse, but, in these days of 'hearts and minds', without proper reconstruction of the society we are trying to 'improve', the aggresive ripple we throw out there will come bouncing right back to our own front door. Knowing what 'Rocky's' like, what is the Government playing at?
