The coffins with the bodies of the seven British soldiers killed in Afghanistan, are driven through the town of Wootton Bassett, England, after their bodies were flown back to Britain. The bodies of Sergeant Steven Darbyshire, Lance Corporal Michael Taylor, Marine Paul Warren, all of 40 Commando Royal Marines, Lance Corporal David Ramsden of 1st Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment, Colour Sergeant Martyn Horton, Private Alex Issac and Private Douglas Halliday, all of 1st Battalion The Mercian Regiment were repatriated to nearby RAF Lyneham. In all, 309 British personnel have been killed in the country since the start of operations in October 2001.






An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
