From the page: "Well, when I read this headline, conflicting views sprang to mind. Firstly of course, being an Englishman with no sense of irony, I immediately leapt to my feet and saluted my queen and her armed forces. Then I faltered slightly, and thought, if a crack team of SAS marines were being air dropped into some war-torn despotic state, surely, speed is of the essence, to ensure that the paras can be in and out again with time for a cup of tea a mere hours later. And of course, well, I thought the SAS were used relatively infrequently â€" as a last resort. Surely the carbon savings are going to be miniscule."
