I don't rule things out. That's the whole job.
The Phase III staging report — amphibious readiness, sealift convoy assembly, minefield interdiction, and the lodgment timetable — is due at 18:00 on 24 February. It has not been written. The record ends here.
Every serving person I know is reading that gaggle tonight and doing the same thing: working out whether their unit is in the troop list.
Mine is out. My daughter's godfather's is in.
Sir, you have about four days. Rule it out. Not for us — I know how that goes — for the nineteen year olds who cannot say anything and will go anyway.
