By saying, "Oh Boo Hoo! The poor, woebegone, victimised soldiers!," you are implying the statement at the Brits.
Irrelevant rubbish. The point was that I don't care much for soldiers who wallow in self-pity.

They are fighting beside my unknown brothers in Afghanistan, making them unknown brothers of me; thusly making your statement personal.
More rubbish, but more importantly it is rubbish of a bizarre, quasi-mystical sort which is slightly disturbing.

I also take offense to what you say right afterwards. We aren't war mongeres, we are there to help. Yes, the lives of the families of those who choose to oppose us are torn apart, but it's their fathers, brothers, nd sons who choose to oppose us and destroy what w build and rebuild in their country. So better them than the pregnaunt woman they plan on blowing up in the market later that afternoon for the sake of eliminating the civilians there trying to rebuild it.
It isn't the Taliban I was referring to, CM. Your wars kill far more innocent people than soldiers.
No tears for you.
