As a former member of the regular Armed Forces I was sickened to read in a national newspaper the character assasination of Swindon SAS soldier Vince Phillips (whose funeral I attended).
He died in the service of his country. This article must be distressing for his family, particularly so as it is by a former comrade in arms.
Goodbye to esprit de corps.
