Yeah I know. I wont even go into how our illustrious leader is doing things there, just too depressing.

Huge sympathy from the UK to you guys, could just as easily been us.

Paddy, I believe there are some UK troops there as well, just not as many.

That's what i meant it could easily been us, We have 1000+ paratroopers at the airport. Basically troops from 16 Air Assault Brigade.
I gather we were just on a different gate to the airfield.

We have Aussie troops on the ground as well evacuating people and supporting the other troops - a bit of a worry. I hope that we can all get out of there without more casualties.

I too have many words, none are for this forum, and most are inappropriate. Sad

pray for those in harm’s way

yes, this is a tragedy. I also would have a lot to say about this, but it doesn't belong here. My thoughts are with those behind

Here at NAS (R) White Oak, the flag flies at 1/2 staff. I did NOT need the Governor to tell me to do so.
