About my post ... I didnt mean to offend anyone but typed what I felt at the time after having served up close to know what im talking about. I dont particularly agree with the reasons why we are still their these days but why we entered in both 1991 and after 9/11 seems to be forgotten with some responses to my post.
I dont usually rant at all, but one of the things I have to defend is when I read things that completely ignore the work I and our forces have/are doing to keep all as safe in bed every night as is possible. Someone has to do the dirty work to ensure that happens.
I could have been clearer in my meaning of "3rd world" and "cowards", although it would still be a 3rd world country without any war going on.
When I said "cowards" i simply meant by blowing innocents up, shooting from mosques, using women and children as cover etc etc
But moving on ... I think its fantastic that someone with the position and comforts Harry has at his beckon is man enough to serve .. and also the Queen for sending her grandchild to carry out his duty;.
My attitude has its moments but I am man enough to either explain them and if wrong amend any, I realise that type doesnt always convey the nature of things too.
But hey ... it'd be boring if everyone were the same surely.
Have a good weekend everyone and stay safe

I don`t think anybody who has not been involved first hand can imagine what it is like to be up front and personal in the so called "war on terrorism"
But I can and will argue that the danger we are facing in this country is nothing compared to the dangers faced by those people whose country has been invaded by foreign troops who are well trained and heavily armed.
The idea that people standing up to the invaders, when they are hopelessly outgunned, are cowards is abhorrent.
Maybe somebody should provide them with Apache helicopters to even the odds and then see who the cowards are !
Give whoever you want whatever you like, even up all the scores and on a 1-1 basis I'll back the UK armed forces everytime.
