brit soldier from both afg and iraq disagrees with this nonsense.
soldiers are prepared to kill and risk the same, but we are there to do our best to bring killing to an end
iraq - right idea, wrong reasons, poor strategy, better outcome, hope for the future...thanks to the very many men and women of a few good armies, no thanks to a very few of them who were disgraced
afg - right idea, average strategy, getting better day by day, hope for the future, thanks to ...etc
it makes it all worthwhile when the elders and traders speak to us in private and beg us to stay, to extend the safe zones, and please dont leave
proud to be a soldier, proud of the youngsters i lead in horrible places in horrible circumstances, proud of the genuine good we have done, sad that young muslim lives are thrown at us by bigotted mad leaders who pontificate in the hills and madrasas
what have you done today to make you feel proud?
