I fully support our forces fighting abroad but cannot help feeling this death is a complete waste of a young mans life. An operation to save some dumbass journo who has been kidnapped before and probably will do again just to get a story. I cannot see the justification in risking other peoples lives to save one. I feel for him and his family and I hope this makes Farrell realise what his reckless action has caused.

I am disgusted with the reporter, I saw his editor claiming 'he woulda sizes up the risk, whether was the story was worth it', clearly the story was not ******* worth it, the prick just trying to earn some danger coin got a good man killed, cunt!

God bless you soldier and my regard to your family. Ferrell you fcucking wanker. He is even saying that they should have negotiated with the capture instead of SF going in a nd getting them. **** you you would have all being dead with your heads on the sand. Good job this man had guts and saved who he could.

This journalist is going to have to think carfully about his future antics ,nobody will come for him again,infact if hes recognised by people again he will be in danger from Taliban sympathisers every where.

You asked if Farrell will reconsider his previous actions in face of 2 or more dead people caused by his recklessness. By this, you are assuming that british people have morals hahaha ... what a joke. Get your soldiers home thats the best for your people and the afghans.
