#1 not saying anything bad adbout the UK troops but didn't seem they did too juch in Basra anyway, since their senior officers seems too make themselves at home while avoiding fighting for the kost part

#2 Thanks for the help, guys. Wish it had been more, but glad for what we got. Enjoy your stay at home before we see you in Afghanistan.

#3 The British are the best friends that the USA have. The boys in Basra did a great job, see you in Afghanistan.

#5 Tommy's weaknesses have come from above, particularly the political end. Sounds familiar to us as well. Rest well. You may be needed at home
