Default Re: British Forces Doctrine
Gary,

I've been thinking about this veil of secrecy the British forces have put in their military stuff. I've just finished reading "Apache" by Ed Macy and all the pictures of the pilots have a black square on their faces. Mr. Macy (not his real name), says it is required by the Govt. for their protection. But if you compare that with "House to House" (a book written by an American soldier), with all the names and pictures explicitly printed there. It makes me wonder: is this secrecy thing so wide-spread?

Bests,
