Read this Heroes one and all!
"In the eyes of the world in 1940, and in those of sensible historians to this day, victory was won, and Britain saved to fight on, by the pilots of Fighter Command under the splendid Air Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding"
Max Hastings 2006
"The gratitude of every home in our Island, in our Empire, and indeed throughout the world, except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out to the British airmen who, undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger, are turning the tide of the World War by their prowess and by their devotion. Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. All hearts go out to the fighter pilots, whose brilliant actions we see with our own eyes day after day…"

A Military Assessment of the Lebanon Conflict
Read this The conflict solved absolutely nothing at all it just killed thousands of innocent people without any obvious gains!
" Hezbollah, on the other hand, proved that they had mastered positional warfare, absorbed modern weapon systems and had the organization and morale to withstand being surrounded and overrun. Hezbollah will have lost many of their best units and weapon systems during this conflict but enough have survived to rebuild again. Furthermore Iran will quickly move to re-supply Hezbollah with more of “what worked” and less of “what didn't”. Given a breathing space Hezbollah ought to come out of this conflict technically more capable and with veteran cadres"

On this day
1305- William Wallace was executed at Smithfeild Market.He was drawn and quartered: strangled by hanging but released near death, emasculated, eviscerated, beheaded, then divided into four parts (the four horrors) at the Elms in Smithfield. His head was placed on a pike atop London Bridge, which was later joined by the heads of his brother, John, and Sir Simon Fraser. His limbs were displayed, separately, in Newcastle, Berwick, Stirling, and Aberdeen. -Bet that hurt!

What passing bells for these who die as cattle?
Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons.
No mockeries for them; no prayers nor bells,
Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs,-
The shrill,demented choirs of wailing shells;
And bugles calling for them from sad shires.
What candles may be held to speed them all?
Not in the hands of boys but in their eyes
Shall shine the holy glimmers of goodbyes.
The pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall;
Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds,
And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.
Wilfred Owen(1893-1918)

On this day
70AD- The destruction of the Second Temple of Jerusalem by the Romans
1265-The Battle of Evesham of the Second Barons' War is fought in Worcestershire, with the army of future King Edward I of England defeating the forces of rebellious barons led by Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester and killing de Montfort and many of his allies. This is sometimes considered the death of chivalry in England.
1902- Greenwich foot tunnel under the River Thames opens.
1914- WW1 Begins when Germany invaded Belgium; in response, the United Kingdom declares war on Germany. The United States proclaims neutrality.
1944- Holocaust: A tip from a Dutch informer leads the Gestapo to a sealed-off area in an Amsterdam warehouse where they find Jewish diarist Anne Frank and her family
1964-Vietnam War: United States destroyers USS Maddox and USS C. Turner Joy are allegedly attacked in the Gulf of Tonkin Air support from the carrier USS Ticonderoga sinks two, possibly three North Vietnamese gunboats. Years later, the claim of NVA attack was revealed to be false.

"Russian officials are expressing concern over the situation in Lebanon – and, just as in Soviet times, are not mentioning what the new oil crisis is giving Russia, and on a much greater scale than in the 1970s. The price of a barrel of Russian Urals oil reached a record high of $72.09 on July 14, after the beginning of the military action in Lebanon. Russia, like the Soviet Union, is the world's leading oil producers. According to the international database JODI, it produced 9.63 million barrels of oil per day in April of this year, and Saudi Arabia came in second with 9.22 million barrels per day."
Makes you wonder who else is doing well out of the current crisis!(Whose supplying all the military hardware to Israel,and how much money is it worth in future contracts?And who's supplying all the weapons to Hizbollah,all Russian by the way,What a shock! )If Kuwait didn't have any oil do you think the world would have been so quick to free them?The same can be said for Afghanistan,not a lot has been said about the oil pipeline running through their country and then we come to Iraq,the oil there is more pure than Saudi Arabia or Kuwait,What a shock that we went to war again there on the most obvious of lies,I'd like to check out the bank accounts of certain countrys after each conflict,I bet they're not in the red!The hypocrisy of it makes me want to puke!

French bashing!
A lion in the zoo was lying in the sun licking its rear end when a visitor turned to the zoo keeper and said, "That's a docile old thing isn't it?"
"No way," said the zoo keeper, "it's the most ferocious beast in the zoo. Why just an hour ago it dragged a Frenchman into the cage and completely devoured him."
"Hardly seems possible" said the astonished visitor, "but why is it lying there licking its rear?"
"The poor thing is trying to get the taste out of its mouth!"

The Show
Guns roar,tracer flys,another British soldier dies,
Bodies heap while you're asleep,the anguished cries of widows weep.
The crack of rounds,a soldiers down,the howling scream of battle sounds.
As rockets stream into the air,the wounded shriek it isn't fair!
As fathers' sons lay down their lives,and leave behind their lonely wives,
As young men bleed into the sand,their lives cut short by strangers hand.
As dreams end suddenly in the sun,it makes you wonder what's been won?
What's worth the taking of a life,a father,son or someones wife?
What can be gained by so much pain,what reason to make horror reign?
When flags unfurl and bugles sound,why do we have to fight for ground?
Why can't we meet as honest men,and solve our problems with a pen?
Why can't we throw away our guns,our rockets,tanks and all our bombs?
And live in peace and without pain,never to see the tracer again,
Never to hear the sounds of war,of bullets,bombs and cannons roar.
Never to see a life cut short,never to see a battle fought.
Never to hear a widow cry,a wounded man scream to heaven,why?
Never to bury your own son,and wonder the reason his life was done.
If only this dream will come true,a better life for me and you.
Until that time i'd better go,to the recruiting office to join the show.

All UK ports have in place a port policing strategy which involves the screening of passengers and freight for the purpose of detecting and preventing the illicit movement of people or goods involved in criminal or terrorist activity."
(Didn't see any indication of this last week at Dover coming back from my French "Booze Cruise"!)

Can we think
a thousand times before we kill
the other in the name of power
or land or ideology?
And after we have thought a thousand times,
written down the reasons,
met with friends to test our cause,
renewed the guns and missiles,
cleaned off the button;
when we have stored up food and water
for a siege, sent the children
to a safer place,
shored up bunkers in backyards,
built new ones near the mint,
thought of hero as someone
convulsed and martyred in the mud,
committed maps to memory,
studied up on ciphers, invented
a new history of disease
and buried the family jewels
to foil the looters;
once we have tolled the bells
and prayed our guttural prayers
for the spirit to be named for us;
sent factories into overtime to make the braids
and uniforms, the medals
to decorate the ones who can return,
confused shelling peas with houses,
small kingdoms crushed;
after we check procedures
for the treatment of fallout
from that most unnatural cloud,
and persuaded our young
that it is just to fight this way,
an adventure, safe, no hand to hand;
when we have done these things
and more, could we think
a thousand times again?
