As far as I know there where ONE RM in that group.
The weird thing about that mess is.
They claim to have been in international waters but the Royal Navy ship they came from did not support the troops in the zodiac in this tensed situation that went into hostile action by the Iranian gunboats.
The whole thing stinks to high heavens and gave the RN a huge black eye around the world.
As far as the original topic.
Dying for your country is one of the risks youŽll hae to be prepared to take when you sign on the dotted line.
The mentality must always be, never surrender.
