A short interview with Rose Gentle, whose son was killed in Iraq, and her views of Blairs' 'sympathy for the families'. She now campaigns with other families of soldiers killed to 'stop Tony Blairs' lies...and bring the troops home'. The interview was filmed around her talk at At Augustines Church in Edinburgh in the run up to the G8 summit.

MRS GENTLE GIVE IT UP

Her son was as well trained as the bulk of the soldiers who deployed there and he was in the company of some of the finest soldiers and officers in the army. His death was unfortunate and its an occupational hazard that soldiers face everyday. Do they agree why they are sent ? some dont but when you join the army you cant pick and choose which wars you fight so its time to let this soldier rest in peace stop using him as a political tool soldiers cringe when they see these family members being used in this way.

The same can be said for many areas not just in Scotland but the rest of the UK where there is no work.
The whole piont of Rose Gentles argument is that Blair lied about going to war.
What did her son die for?
I don't think Rose would be arguing that case if she thought the war was worthwhile.

I am deeply sorry that they are grieving for their son, but have to ask why they about-face in their opinions of the Army. He joined... if I remember correctly... after 11/9 when few of us doubted there was going to be military action. One week basically approving of the Army's role; next week vociferous opponents of it. What changed? Well, they killed our Johnny.
I have said as much to people canvassing of the Gentles' behalf. They should be politely, but firmly told to be quiet. It's like asking muder victims' families what to do with the culprits.
