Ditto Graham's request.
Whilst I hate the thought of war (any war) I am humbled and moved that people such as Brian go to put their lives on the line.
It is very easy for me and others to idealise and pontificate on the rights and wrongs of the political situation, safe in the knowledge that no harm will befall me as a result. It is only due to the incredible bravery of these selfless men and women that we are able to speak and think freely at all.
I have a cousin who served in the last gulf war and is serving in this one also. On a day when we have heard of the deaths of British and American soldiers it brings home to me the reality that these people face.
These people don't make the decisions but are expected to implement them and do so with profesionalism and to the best of their ability.
They deserve and have my 100% support.
Return home safely Brian.
