THERE is not a week that passes without some minority interest group nit picking over the Armed Forces? use of Dartmoor.

Those involved in this conduct have little care or thought to the upset and distress they might be causing to service families.

We have just been involved in major conflict and yet again this facility has proved to be vital.

There are young widows with children still mourning the loss of loved ones.

Some ill informed diatribe re military training on the moor at this point in time is rather distasteful.

I am not alone in stating that many readers are sick and tired of this never ending tale.
