I do occasionally venture to think that there maybe a sinister conspiracy to endlessly perpetuate wars around the globe. If we didn’t have so many conflicts then who would protect and control the drugs trade in Afghanistan and Pakistan etc & who would control the oil fields of the middle east and how many trillions+ would be lost to the fragile world economy if we didn’t order new tanks, aircraft, ships, missiles and so on? I really hope the spirit of brave men and women is not being manipulated (which history often shows it is) by politicians & the powerful mandarins behind the scenes. Whatever, you think about the rights of going to war with Iraq & Afghanistan you surely cannot have anything but the up-most respect and admiration for these people who put their necks on the line for their country and the kinship they show to their mates.

As a footnote, I/we of people of my age and later (in my forties) are flippin’ lucky we have never had to go off or, be conscripted into a war but, then global warming and dramatic climate change maybe our battle/war in the coming years perhaps.
