Fallujah and the Black Watch
The Black Watch are well-known in America. Dean Rusk specifically mentioned the regiment when the American Government asked for a British force to take part in the Vietnam war. Harold Wilson refused.
Tony Blair didn’t refuse. The Black Watch are now participants in what the US Marines are describing as their biggest battle since Hue (1968). The Black Watch are not peace keeping, they are supporting an aggressive operation which will involve the deaths of many innocent people - as well as some of the Scottish soldiers themselves.
The Black Watch should not be taking part in this.
