| It's a sticky problem.
I would like to imagine that I understand some of the pressures that these men are being subjected to, and I am sympathetic. It's just that will it be in the best interests of the coalition (and the world for that matter) to go too easy on them?
I have a son who was working over there for a mob of Brits, and believe me, I was always aware that he was in a very delicate position. We had to be very careful as the Australian Government are watching like hawks. Being a mercenary in Australia is technically illegal, but I don't know if they are turning a blind eye at the moment. My son's passport could certainly attract a lot of unwelcome attention, Kuwait, South Africa, Oman, Mozambique. Not nice. |
