You know, I find it so annoying that these sort of events get so little coverage on television. It seems the BBC, Sky and all the rest are only too happy to report on engagements with our enemies if we lose a soldier or suffer a setback, but coverage of successes is virtually non-existent.
I remeber during the Falklands war how we would get daily reports of events - success or setback - now it's just a deluge of disaster.
