Everyone I knew in the army had a rather splendid time in Germany, I had one cousin in the Falklands and he went to Ireland to he got the brown end of the stick because the other two hardly left Germany. The country didn't want my services, someone who makes their living through violence or more accurately the threat there of isn't someone who fits into our modern army apparently

We were a strong military power. We do not have a military strong enough to defend this country imo.

You hear about our super duper new frigates or destroyers, whatever they are, big ships with big guns, all broken down, apparently the best ship out there is German and called the hessen iirc

And why the hell should they? This is the most ridiculous thing to say and suggest. You don’t need to have served or serve to say military action is required. To do so is outright snobbery.

No it's not it's having the guts to back your convictions. If you won't do it, don't ask other people to

Lots of misinformation being put out. That 70 of the 105 missles were intercepted by Syrian defence systems. Pentagon says non of their missles were intercepted.

Especially when missiles are sold to oppressive regimes.

Excellent.


Lets be honest it would have been a waste of time anyway. It would have been veto'd

My gut feeling is that if this strike has had the desired effect, it will go down well with the public and reflect well on the three leaders' popularity.

I don't think there's much appetite in the UK for sending the troops in but I think a single airstrike is a different matter.

We have an army for a reason it's not just to fight wars in our own country we have a duty these days to protect those around us.

I don't believe in this here Rambo bull crap that gets put round all these war heroes "he was only 18 and was killed fighting in a war he didn't ask for"

What a load of crap you sign up for a reason with the understanding that the job has risks and one of them is death, I don't pay my tax for 50k troops to climb walls all day, drive around in jeeps and fly over to other countries to do the same thing and get paid a good wage for it. Class themselves as a hero and never actually fought in a war.

All this I didn't ask for it or don't send troops to war unless you do it yourself. If that's the case don't sign up.

We have managed to draw a line globally about nuclear weapons..We need to make sure that we keep the line over chemical and biological weapons or the future could become very bleak globally.There should have been far more reaction over the previous Syrian gas attacks. Hopefully it's not a case of too little too late.
