I do not even know what to really say here, except to say I am appalled at this action.
These British soldiers, airmen and navy fight side by side with our military service personnel and believe they all should receive the proper welcome home and respect for which they have truly earned.
To "avoid the public" for which they served valiantly is really an insult to all who love freedom and deprives those British Subjects who hold that thought to say a final goodbye and thank you.
Both our shared history aside we are in fact allies for quite sometime now and it is my wish that this "back road" policy in Britain be rescinded if not for the lost soldier but for their family.

Sound familiar America? Wake up!
