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.

Exactly, some people seem to think because you dont like the fact that the British Army are in Iraq, you must hate the soldiers on the ground. I for one don't agree with the war in Iraq, but I wouldnt wish that the Brit soldiers there die as a result of their involvement. Likewise I wouldn't say they deserve whatever they get while they're serving there.
I think most critics of the war are anti govt not anti personnel. And by that I mean we're against it based on the reasons for going to war in the first place.
