I may not agree completely with all that he has said in fact in places I feel he is wide of the mark, but he, thanks to the many sacrifices of young men from other generations is free to express his feelings about this particular conflict. That does not mean that he or many other young men would not be prepared to defend his family and friends if the need arose. However I would deeply regret that if or when that need should arise he and others would just go blindly like lambs to the slaughter because you and others banged some form of patriotic drum and forced him to!

Exactly. If we were being attacked and it was the people I knew that were in danger then I would be the first in the line to sign up. However going over to some foriegn country just because some redneck wants me to ? No chance.

I think it is to do with the war being declared because USA and UK claimed they had MoD and since these MoD's have not been found, their reason for war was unjust.
