Armed Forces Day.

Today the people of Britain are collectively not bothering to celebrate the first annual Armed Forces Day marking the contribution of Britain's armed forces. Personally I always thought that Britain's armed forces were already honoured by the sombre reverence of Remembrance Sunday but recently it was decided that a second event was needed. Armed Forces Day was set up specifically to celebrate those members of the armed forces serving in the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns.

Although Britain's involvement in Iraq has already come to an end Armed Forces Day couldn't have come at a better time for British forces serving in Afghanistan. On June 22nd the British Army began Operation Panther's Claw, one of the largest airborne operations in recent history designed to capture and hold territory in Helmand province. Coupled with events in Iran, developments in my situation and the re-emergence of Loyalist paramilitaries in Northern Ireland this co-incidence gives an interesting insight into the attitude of the British Establishment.

It seems they planned a series of events starting with attempting to instigate a revolution in Iran then moving on to re-balance Northern Ireland in the Loyalists favour while encompassing the counter attack against me and a military success in Afghanistan before climaxing in a orgasm of national pride on Armed Forces Day. This tour de force would then be used to repair Britain's ruined international reputation ahead of next week's G8 summit before heading back to celebrate the end of the British social season with a British triumph at the Wimbledon tennis tournament

Well that was the plan anyway.
