Corbyn's stance on war is refreshing, Afghanistan and Iraq achived nothing, it only helped ISIS rise in power. On top of that, it lead to the death and pyschological damage of thousands of young British soldiers, and what was it for in the end? What did we actually achive over there? Syria is just a rerun of Iraq. War brings war. |
:clap: :clap: Which is why medals were thrown at no 10 the other day.
British war veterans have thrown away their medals outside Downing Street in protest against the Government's decision to bomb Syria and to bust the “mythology” of heroism connected to the military.
Ex SAS soldier Ben Griffin, who led the Veterans for Peace protest on Tuesday, told The Independent that although difficult, discarding their medals was an important gesture to discourage future generations from aspiring to win war medals.
He had already binned his medal in the summer but joined the protest to discard an award of a disabled veteran who was unable to attend.
