They just use the Iraq war as an excuse.

Anyway back on topic..Excellent news.

And hopefully when both wars are finished once and for all our lads(and lasses) it won't be a case of out of mind and forgotten about.
It certainly has (abuse that is).Little has changed since Kipling wrote about it.
It's always been, and probably always will :-
"It's Tommy this and Tommy that and throw the beggar out.
But it's savior of his country when the gun's begin to shout."

This country doesn't deserve , and never has, the brave people who do it's dirty but necessary work for it, and get little thanks for so doing.
