    Bravest of the brave, most generous of the generous, never had country more faithful friends than you.

    ...but you can't stay here.
    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

    Just to reference the quote (thanks for posting that, btw), it was said by Sir Ralph Lilley Turner MC, who served with the 2nd/3rd Queen Alexandra's Own Gurkha Rifles in Mesopotamia during the First World War.

    I have nothing polite to say either.

    I've worked with them. It's shameful. Wonder how many more MP's expenses can be filed with this tiny saving. Embarrassingly shameful!

    I find this to be BEYOND WORDS, ( that can be used on this forum )

    Although an American, I served in a "Elite" Group", in the early 60s. To a MAN our UNITS held these MEN in TOTAL RESPECT.Not only for their BRAVERY, but because we felt ( & in my case still do feel ) they were & are MEN of HONOR

    My personal message to them is MY BROTHERS, HOLD YOUR HEADS HIGH, YOU KNOW WHO & WHAT YOU ARE !!
