2:17 am
a lot of other serious things i believe in one hundred percent the l.a.p.d. has been shown has a consistent cultural problem with racism cover up and cronyism within the department that has victimized i think and probably driven out a great many good officers iler for similar reasons it appears a medal is too much to ask for according to the u.k. which is refusing its veterans a russian ana's moscow on syria awarded british jews for bravery in world war two specifically sailors who guarded critical convoys to supplied the u.s.s.r. but as our g.'s that irina going to school reports that's not something london is willing to allow. imagine doing a service to a foreign country during a time of war risking your life going through unimaginable hardships all in the name of helping an ally you imagine that country wanting to reward you with a medal of honor and then imagine your own government refused to allow you to accept that medal for rather ambiguous reasons that's precisely what's happening to
2:18 am
several hundred veterans in the u.k. the russian government wanted to word them the medal for their service in the arctic convoy during world war two but the foreign and commonwealth office has refused the request saying that they appreciate the move from moscow but they simply cannot be granted because current rules dictates foreign medals can only be accepted within five years of the events occurring but the british government is promising to soon create a medal to honor u.k. troops who participated in the arctic convoys now the convoys delivered thousands of anti tank guns and fighter planes to the u.s.s.r. between one hundred forty one in one thousand forty five the road to went from north america iceland and the u.k. it's my looks simple enough on the map but it was anything but that the conway's were constantly attacked by german u. boats ships and planes and when humans avoided the problem the convoys often fell

of the magnitude of feeds it was awarded for so there are shoes a will to let a foreign government honor their service in the greatest war of modern history makes veterans wonder what's behind the reason if it had been america to offer this medal which are all may not served on the american i mean when i was in shanghai and china cities but. i mean sorry they were to offer me a medal what would be to their written the government's response to that. for their parts many british veterans such as john seemed open and receptive to the idea of a medal coming from russia while the owner did yes just to have possession and so i have a few years ago left if a few years. and it down to meet children we grant you a mean surprise possession to me just not only bad to us but this coming from
