And (as a Brit) I did answer DIRECTLY that question about the selling of stories in the FIRST response (and you ignored it so far) and I've reminded you of that twice now. In fact the very line before your latest riposte was such a reminder, I quote
> Get back to the subject of this thread. > Morality of selling their stories. You (knowingly) use a very dishonest style of argumentation Platt. No one could be that dumb. "Platteral Shift" it has been dubbed by others than me. Read my answer, which was, and I quote again ... Quote from my orginal response (90% of the words repeated here) .... But that doesn't change the question of the morality of "selling" such stories. Fortunately if you listen to the words of the individuals involved, you'll find most of them I've heard are being very "moral" about it - telling their stories yes, selling them yes, but with monies going to things like the forces legion charities. These details matter. The only matter of principle for me is not the money, but whether they should be publicly telling their stories whilst still serving members of the forces, or subject to service contracts. It's a matter of how the information affects ongoing operations. Old soldiers have always made their fortunes (or boosted their egos) selling their stories or making films of their exploits - after release from service. Good stories are always marketable, and will always make someone money - may as well be GI Jane as Stephen Spielberg. Unquote RTFA / ATFQ you evil moron. I'm answering your question AND calling you what you are.
