Ironically he was killed by a roadside bomb and one of the other six Brit commanders to be killed was killed at Narrow Water; where the IRA used a roadside bomb and a secondary booby trap. In that instance the dead Brit commander was Lt. Colonel David Blair.
Thorneloe was killed with another Brit in Helmand and this is an example of the price they pay to secure the opium crop. |
I'd really love Mr Crowley if you were the victim of a bomb some day. I think most other people would feel that way too. I hope and pray it happens and most people would be happy when it does, and carry out the same triumphalism that you do.
You represent no-one but your own sick twisted self.
I too commiserate with the family of the soldier who at least had the guts to fight in a war rather than stay an armchair chicken like Mr Crowley.
