Meanwhile, a sign of possible dissent in the British ranks is a report this morning that three unnamed soldiers from the 16 Air Assault Brigade have been sent home to face a court martial. They are understood to have complained about the way the war is being fought
and the growing danger to civilians.
**********
This will be very interesting. Bet the proceedings are secret. Just imagine if the accused were able to make their case in public.
First a fragging. Now mutiny. And such a young and tender war, too.
