They are in the majority decent hard working people who are doing the job that this country requires them to do.They do not need the backstabbing they are so patently getting from some in this forum.They also do not need all the talk of 'this war' being illegal WHILST they are still trying to keep the peace going.
What a great way to keep their morale up.Very easy for some to be armchair critics in a theoretical manner but as Bill says when you are up to your neck in the blood and guts of the job it's an entirely different view of reality.
I'd rather leave the recriminations about this war until OUR SERVICEMEN HAVE COMPLETED THE JOB AND RETURN HOME.

Exactly how many service people view Cable Forum then? So far in this thread I have only seen one member post about the conduct of British soldiers and if as I believe they have done nothing wrong and have maintained the best traditions of the British army, they have nothing to worry about, I also believe the vast, vast majority of the British public support the army in all operations, however that doesn't mean you have to support the fact that they are there in the first place, nor let the people that sent them there under strength, under equipped, without international support and with questionable legality, of the hook.
I am not sure Tony Blair would agree with you about waiting for their return either, after all hasn't he been telling us it was time to move on for a couple of years now.
