Top gunner ... David Beckham gets behind heavy machine gun
DAVID Beckham paid tribute today to the "amazing" work of British troops in Afghanistan during a visit to the country.
The footballer posed for pictures and signed autographs for troops in Camp Bastion, Helmand Province, where around 9,000 British soldiers are based.
And he got a lesson in shooting of a different kind - when he learned how to use a heavy machine.
He said: "Just yesterday one of the troops was killed, and you feel it and you see the flags at half-mast and you feel the tension there. It really is, like I said, amazing to be around but you feel the love from everybody.
