these days when your in the army your nothing more than a political pawn, the definition of being a solider in war for honourable reasons is changing.
it does not wash with me, the only heroes i see are the ones who fought in the wars before i was born, back in the 1940's when it was about freedom, liberty, independence of this nation to stay under british control not be under threat by nazi germany and previous attempted occupations.
im not saying its easy to go in to a war, but NO ONE can justify what has happened and what continues to happen right now.
you cannot seriously expect me to believe the invasions we have seen were to 'liberate' these people, vested interests are already in place as i noted before and will continue, if democracy (in its current form can you call it that these days) we would be in zimbabwe, darfur, rounding up genocidal maniacs and allowing african countries to attempt to get backup to a standard where fearing for your life or watching people being killed around you is NOT an everyday occourance.
