Madam, - E.F. Fanning's letter of August 12th has made me rather sad. I really thought this kind of attitude to Irishmen in British uniforms was now a thing of the past.
My son is currently serving on the front line in Afghanistan with the third parachute regiment. Not only is he trying to bring democracy to this country, but also fighting the global war on drugs. I am a very proud of my son, but I also worry daily until his safe return at the end of September. - Yours, etc,
SUSAN M. JONES, Killiney, Co Dublin.
