Making a killing

- What can we do about these Taleban wallahs? We're being killed by all these bad headlines. Soldiers dying, wounded ... Can't we put a stop to it?

- More soldiers, more equipment?

- Not on old boy! GB has spoken! We need to find a battle we can win.

- Well sir, there is the court option.

- The court option?

- Yes sir, two soldiers have been given an increased compensation award on a court ruling. We could appeal that. We're bound to win in a higher court if we put enough resources behind it.

- How much s involved?

- Not very much sir, but there is a principle at stake.

- Principle! Of course. Yes I like that. We need more principled action around here.

- So you approve sir.

- Absolutely. Get the legal boys on it right away. A battle we can win. That's cheered me up immensely.
