We might bear in mind that in Black Hawk Down they were not afraid to go back and look at that and upgrade all of the people who were involved. Other countries have done it and have not been afraid to do so. Leaving aside the Jadotville issue, which is a separate issue, the other issue is the number of veterans who approach me and tell me about wonderful things that happened. I was not there so I do not know but I think a look-back would be a good thing to do.
