    Such brave lads, under so so much pressure from all angles to placate Politicians. A lot went on in the Congo in the 60's, with the assasination of the UN Secretary General and his plane to 2000 attacking this far flung outpost for what??
    Badly treated by their own General, and like so many Britishicon Army conflicts and contacts like Mirbat, the lads were NEVER there........what a load of crap!!
    Those lads should have been accreditted with what they did whilst at Jodotville.........very brave actions, should have been rewarded with the right medals IMHO!
    True story with the actual place and some of the soldiers that fought there as Military advisors!
