Message: [QUOTE="Scribbler, post: 8343, member: 1794"] Mighty Doh Nut, Very level headed approach from you, and delighted to see you still keep your sense of humour. My vote went with yours in regards to gaining further UN support, but what the hell, when it comes down to it, those of us in the green do as we are told. I just don't think that serving soldiers (and I emphasise serving) should whine on about politics when a crisis emerges. They should have considered the possibilities long before and either not joined or left when they had the chance. I respect your opinion as I do those of others posted on this subject here and elsewhere. We can all wrestle with our consciences privately, but at the end of the day we have to have faith that our Government will do the right thing. I unreservedly believe that despite any personal shortcomings in leadership, Britain is a democracy and when the decision does come, it will be the right one. Furthermore I know that regardless of whether I agree with that decision or not I have a duty to see it through. I'm saying nothing else on this subject, I already feel that as a professional, bound by oath, and with a duty to those I serve that we need to be resolute in supporting any decision by HMG. Shitty death, how friggin easy can it be for anyone to have to make that sort of decision. It's not one I would ever want to have to make, no matter if I was paid a fireman's wage claim!! [/QUOTE]
