One of my best friends joined the army at 16 and was fighting in Afghanistan at 18. Needless to say he's ****ed in the head now.
War is bull**** end of story.
Thanks!
I respect anyone who puts themselves in that position but I have never felt the need to. If we were talking about pre-WWII and this country was being threatened by Germany I would have no choice but to fight for my country and would have no qualms about fighting a war.
In this day and age Britain is not under that kind of threat though.

Now he is complaining about it.
I'm sure when you sign up to the army, the forms don't ask you what kind of wars you want to fight in.

it's fought for a country's self interest.
even the american revolution wasn't about freedom.
it was about money. taxes.
the colonists didn't want to pay more taxes even though, oddly enough, they were paying much less than brits were.

As soon as he signed up he was obligated to fight in any war some guy in a suit said he needed too.
That is the bottom line.
