Stop this bickering. It’s not about Brexit Siope!
This, a voice of reason on the Telegraph comments just now:
“ Before someone starts on the Brexit rubbish, there is actually no need for NATO soldiers to show passports when crossing borders. They are covered by NATO travel arrangements enshrined in the NATO treaty and all they need is their services ID card an a half page piece of paper per group their unit HQ has stamped called a NATO Travel Order and if they have weapons, who ever is in charge of the group has to have a weapons manifest listing all they have with serial numbers. Most British soldiers - even the ones in Germany, including their wives and children, do not have passports. I had been all over the world with my wife and daughters and to two wars before I had a passport. They do however, have to go through the relevant customs clearance, partculalrly with weapons. That is routine for every country the British Army goes to, on operations or on exercise, including Canada, the US, all of NATO and everywhere else and always has been the case.”
