IN the Second World War, Odette Churchill had her fingernails pulled out by the Nazis because she refused to talk. Violette Szabo was tortured and executed because she also wouldn't tell her captors anything.
Now we have the shameful sight of Faye Turney and her colleagues rolling over at the first sign of discomfort. And what about the wuss who said he cried for three days because the Iranians called him Mr Bean? Whatever happened to name, rank and serial number?
I wonder how long it will be before some smart alec lawyer persuades them to sue the MoD for compensation?
