Surely most people can differentiate the use of military force to implement current political policy, and the individual actions of a soldier?

When a soldier steps through the gate of a FOB, they know it is a lottery as to which one in the patrol steps on an IED, or is the one which is picked out by a sniper. And yet Dally, they have the balls to do that for everyday of their 6 month tour. Something you may consider when next you are bitchin to Mrs D about the congestion you faced on your drive home.....

And speaking of bitches, where is Durham Giant with some answers to the points I raised re Syria?

One assumes this will be discussed at the NATO summit along with Russia's alleged incursion into Ukraine (which Calamity Cameron has as No 1 item on his agenda).

It's all gone quiet over there?

There's another royal baby on the way. The British media won't be bothering with reporting on wars now. They'll be more interested in potential baby names and what Kate Middleton is wearing.

To be fair to the foetus involved, it was not known to the public prior to the cessation of hostilities. It can claim IS & Ukraine bumped Gaza off the news.

There is also the fact that the vast majority of people I the UK probably couldn't care less about yet another round in the endless Jews vs Muslims tete a tete.

But the people who perhaps 'do care less' understand that the 'Jews vs Muslims tete a tete' is possibly the major destabalising factor to global peace upon this planet we currently inhabit.
Just saying.
