    Send in Hollywood to make post-apocalypse movies and give their economies a much needed boost. Problem solved. <ok>

    There you have it.

    "Ah'd have been okay if he'd got shot deid by a Mexican drug cartel, 'cos the War on Drugs and that is justified ya ken? But no blown up by an Arab IED so I blaim that Tony Blair"

    Army = being a soldier
    Soldier = expected to fight and possibly die and kill others
    Excuse = dying in a war we don't like is all wrong and somebody has to pay

    As a squaddie I did not expect to be given a written explanation every time we armed up, I signed up on the understanding that I would fight when I was told to, that's what "Orders" are for.

    It's not a debating society, if it was it would not be fit for purpose

    Most of his orders revolved around how many spuds to peel.

    It's the only one I can think of that could possibly br seen as just/moral...

    Saying that, the allied countries should have taken action far sooner than it did - especially Merka!
