We are in need of someone with the English mentality to take action. You Brits are excellent at what you do. The only real problem is that I know as i unleash you I'm going to get much more than I ever bargained for' said the united states STATE DEPT. official who hired Howard Leedham, a former British special forces officer residing in America. The duty was to energise and lead an American sponsored boundary security program on the Pakistan part of the Afghan boundary... And they do get a lot more than they bargained for.
