Do you remember — on Friday — I wrote of the alarming news I’d seen, that an — at the time — unnamed soldier from a friend’s regiment had been killed in Afghanistan?
Hearing something like that is rather worrying; although I think that Greg’s family would’ve had the worst of it.
Well, I’ve got to admit to having mixed feelings, here.
At last night’s movie, Adrian, bless him, happened to mention that he’d found the name of the soldier killed in action on the MoD website; Rifleman Aminiasi Toge.
That’s where my mixed feelings come in.
On the one hand, I can’t help but feel sorry for the poor man’s family, having to deal with what — for them — will be a devastating piece of news.
And on the other, feel grateful it wasn’t Greg.
Bad?
Maybe.
But I’m hoping it’s understandable.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
