Colwyn, totally agree with you, but with many military things its not a question of if you want to, but if you have to. Leave behind a failed state and it will become the biggest recruiting and training area for many, many bad 'uns, stay a bit longer, hope a stable government can slog it out and the result could well be different. I sincererly hope that not even one more is hurt, but its what they do, and take my word for it, man for man there isnt a better army in the world, and as Ive siad before on this forum many people dont deserve them - least of all our politicians, a good quote (if Ihave it correct) might be-
The honesty and bravery of our fighting forces stands in stark contrast to the weasel words and dishonesty of their political masters
