i never said you cannot be a hero in a war, but if your there because you were sent by a government who initiated and engaged in something which nobody asked to happen within a country then yes it does NOT matter, the ends do not justify the means.

ok yes kosovo maybe, but the point im trying to make is nobody has made a signficant positive diffarence in afghanistan, as the country is in its current state.
whilst i can understand the depth at which someone joins the army for and puts themselves on the line for others its still a finely poised game of politics, especially these days!

who put saddam there ? mugabe has shown himself to be more of an aggressive tirant than saddam, he (saddam) did do unsavoury things, but that was not the 'main issue' call for the war there it was WMD which has turned out to be false.
