President Obama and UK´s Prime Minister David Cameron announce the Afganistan withdrawal plans on television to the World and the Taliban and in my considered opinion more for political reasons to appease their voters. This costs our troops more lives than probably had the plans been kept secret. You did not find Sir Winston Churchill disclosing his plans in the second world war did you? The media in the UK show the Wootton Bassett courtage on television. In my opinion this should still go ahead but media coverage of it banned as with the announcement of deaths on the Daily news. Do the victims families really want this? You have Western television programs going behind the enemy lines and fraternising with the enemy to do a half hour program. In the first World war the residents of Wool in Dorset were told to close their curtains (according to my late Grandmother, a friend of Lawrence of Arabia) when the first tanks from Bovington Camp came down the high street - well of course they all had a peep. In those wars our leader did not disclose their plans to the media and the world - they kept them secret. We won those Wars

Whilst at Public School when the UN troops were pinned down in a small area in South Korea around the port of Pusan., I put my finger on a map and said that if I was General McArthur I would invade here pointing my finger on the port of Inchon. 6 months later he did just that - I served in Korea during 1955 and 1956 with the Royal Signals - entered RMA Sandhurst where during my 2 year course 1956/58 I studied the 2 volumes of the American Condfederate General Stonewall Jackson which I think has subsequently made me very aware that polititicians should not meddle in Military matters unless they have been educated at West Point or RMA Sandhurst. I also admired the tactics of the German General Otto Skorzeny Google
