MoD under attack again.

In my local club, a drunk, a thing who has never worked in his fifty odd years, berated the Army, the Queen and all the institutions that allows him to exist in his drink induced utopia.
I cannot get assistance for former soldiers who have fallen on bad times, but the world and this country is overflowing with the Liberal minded do-gooders who critisise me and Rogue_gunner, but do absolutely nothing for former soldiers.

MoD criticised at 'friendly fire' inquest

A coroner criticised the Ministry of Defence yesterday for withholding information on the shooting of a soldier killed by "friendly fire" in Iraq.

Andrew Walker, the Oxfordshire assistant deputy coroner, said the family of Cpl John Cosby had to "fight every step of the way" for documents surrounding his death in Basra last year.

Cpl Cosby, 28, of the Devon and Dorset Light Infantry, was shot in the head as his platoon raided a house. The inquest at Oxford Old Assizes has heard it was believed the fatal shot was fired by Cpl Dean Newark, of the Royal Anglian Regiment, who was returning fire from an Iraqi insurgent.
