Here is another story of UK Soldier bravery in the face of the enemy - reported just last week.

Quote:
A Scottish soldier is to receive the second highest award for gallantry for his actions in Afghanistan.
L/Cpl Donald Campbell from South Uist drove a tractor into an enemy zone while under fire to shore up a ditch, allowing his colleagues to cross.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/7282229.stm

Apparently the Taliban had his troop pinned down and unable to cross and exposed area to outflake the swine. So our brave Scots solider jumps onto a digger truck and builds up the defensive bank whilst under fire.

hats off to all our brave service men and women fighting


Pity not all NATO countries are fully committed to using their soldiers in front line duties.

The question is vexed: what the hell are British soldiers doing in Afghanistan?
