Personally, I don’t agree with our troops being in Afghanistan and I didn’t agree with them being in Iraq, however those members of the armed forces who will hopefully benefit from this scheme are not responsible for Government policy. They are merely doing the job they have been asked or rather ordered to do.
They are doing so in extremely difficult circumstances which have seen many killed or injured.
The politicians deserve to be challenged and questioned regarding our involvement in these conflicts, the Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen deserve our support and respect. Something sadly lacking here.
