I think we have to separate the Soldiering from the Political stupidity that put them there in the first place.
All the Military can do is what they're asked, they risk life and limb carrying out the orders of their Political paymasters. for right or wrong they always give 100% in blood sweat and toil, putting their lives on the line for their Country.
For this they deserve only our enduring praise and thanks, they are heroes and continue to be always, this is not, now , nor ever was in question.
My argument is with the politicians who use our Military as part of their grand Political game, gambling with the lives of hundreds of our servicemen to fight their ill conceived pointless stupid, dangerous, unjust wars which at best are unwinnable and at worst precipitate the most disasterous anarchy resulting in the loss of lives in the hundreds of thousands, and help to promote recruitment for multiple extremist terrorist groups.
One cannot help also thinking that these wars also have a profit motive and that the big Corporations and Arms manufacturers also gain.
This is what hurts the most in my view, to sit and watch countless lives being destroyed and thousands of families suffer the resulting heartbreak of losing loved ones just so a few greedy powerful people can see their stocks rise and their profits increase.
Disgusting to say the least.
