You can't win, if you said about the other story of the French on strike we would all be going at the French! Back to your posting though, one thing that concerns me about the army deployment is not only the deaths which are tragic enough but the injured are hardly ever mentioned. We are not talking about a broken arm but more often than not life affecting injuries. The numbers of these injuries is tragic and for the civilians to ignore this fact is shameful.
I wouldn't want a street parade but in all honesty what is the best way to show appreciation to our forces?
