1. Odd. Were they banned
from Madrid?

And goodness knows, Iraq's not safe, but that's where they're being sent.

2. banned by their superiors...
Makes our guys look like a bunch of wusses, I think. I mean it's OK for London's general populace, kids and all to move freely around London.. but not our service people?!?

Or stonings by Londoners?

We didn't go to all the effort of recruiting you so we could lose you in Europe!
Now git yer ass back on base until we need you....

7. It appears from the article that UK banned them.
Why would they do that? Doesn't that perk your curiosity? :shrug:
