The way Bliar is handling the military is shocking.

I was surprised to learn, as one would see in this interview, that soldiers have to pay for their medical care! What is adding insult to injury is that they have to buy their own boots!

In India, not only the soldiers, but their families and also the parents are treated by the military medical organisation and if specialist care (not available in the military hospitals) then civil specialist hospitals are made use of.

My own CO had his knees changed at the military's expense in the US!

And inspite of such uncaring treatment by the British government, it is to the credit of the British military that they soldier on and with great grit and stoic accept the rigours of active combat in areas like Afghanistan and Iraq!

Hats off to the British military men!

Bliar is hardly a world statesman. His sound bites are fine, but there is no follow up. Its all gas and no go. He remains exposed as a blithering puffer fish!

He can to nothing on his own. He requires Bush's say so or a 'Yo Bliar!' Always hanging on to Bush's coat tails!

A total let down!
