Final salute

MY FAMILY has served the Crown worldwide since Victorian times, losing two lives in the process.

The embracing by the Forces of diversity, while laudable, is not the point.

How can anyone carry out their duty in the knowledge that obeying lawful orders may result in prosecution based on civilian legalities? The idea would be laughable, were it not so tragic.

I loved my time in the Army as a Lieutenant Colonel, but could not recommend it to my family today. Name supplied, Northallerton, N. Yorks.
