Our soldiers showed Brown what they thought of him when he tried to get a photo opportunity at Selly Oak hospital.

These kind of "photo opportunity" visits; and in that must be included visits to "front-line" areas (which are no more "front-line" than Hyde Park -Brown is not alone in this-) are usually carefully choreographed with carefully selected cheerfully smiling squadies, who are unlikely to rock any boats. Ever noticed the only ones wearing helmets and vests are the visitors, the others know they are in "safe" areas, probably to save them if shot at by disgruntled friendly fire.
My heart goes out to these guy's at Selly Oak. Not sure if I could put on such a brave face.

Experience; is something you gain, just after you needed it most.
When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.

And lets not also forget that both Brown and Cameron were rightly given a battering by Westminster Abbey for using the memorial garden as a photo opportunity.
And regarding the guys complaints about inadequate equipment, that has been going on for decades under all govern,ments.
Remember John Nott - the man whose defence review would have robbed the forces of vastly more equipment. That review was one of the signals to Argentina that they could invade the Falklands .
He has been often described as the worse defence secretary in decades. And then when he resigned was rewarded with a knighthood.
