The troops want to come home, the population of the UK overwhelmingly want them to come home, the population of *Iraq* overwhelmingly want them to come home, so why should all three views receive the middle finger?

And the British people living and working out there trying to make things better BBKing? What about them? Force them home? March in the streets of London to abandon them like you'd do for the Iraqi people who don't want things to get worse, who want to live in a peaceful country, but hey lets ignore them, they don't matter do they?
It's a mess, we could stay and help out as we have done? Oh wait, that's a positive statement, can't have that now can we? Obviously everything our forces do is a joke to you, they're not there giving security, you scoffed at that suggesting in another thread. Lets just bring them home and turn our backs on other human beings in need hey?
Hmm, sounds similar to Locky, wonder if you realised you had so much in common with him?
