I think sending women in uniform to that part of the world ( and Iraq as well ) might not be a best idea. It prabably offends lots of people stupid sensibilities and equates to pouring gas onto fire...

But she is kinda cute :D

I read your post, Mr. Toad, and guess what? Just today, I saw that very phrase in the now redundant Church of St. Peter & St. Paul, built in the 1100s in Marlborough, Wiltshire. (I have my mother staying with me, and we were on a day outing - hence the Church visit)  The quotation was set in the stones behind where the altar would have been.  But where does that quote come from? First time I'd ever seen it, but I recognised it immediately having read your post.

It's from the bible I believe.

And sorry to hear of the loss of a hero in the war in Afghanistan. to him and your country.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

AIF Private Richie Murray (one of 2428 Australian and British POW's murdered by the Japanese at Sandakan) earn't a similar epitaph:

He stepped forward to sacrifice his life for his mates. Lest we forget.

Murray stepped forward and took the rap for the theft of a bag of biscuits that 4 pows had stolen and then disbributed to 26 other starving surviving prisoners. After the Japanese had lined all 30 up and threatened to shoot them all for this capital crime, Murray stepped forward and said he alone was responsible. The japanese nearly beat him to death on the spot, then dragged him into the jungle and finished him off with a bayonet.

We've been lucky that we have only lost one of our diggers in afghanistan. I truly hope that will be your countries only one.
