I warmly welcome the homecoming parades of troops from Afghanistan and Iraq. I long to see them all marching through the cheering crowds, having brought themselves home in accordance with their oaths to defend this Realm, thus causing, without the firing of a shot, the collapse of our rancid Political Class.
The demonstrations against them come from quarters with which I have no sympathy, and in any case they are counterproductive and aimed at the wrong target. The real Butcher of Fallujah is now a fabulously rich man as a result of his crimes.
And while the real Butcher of Basra is still a better Prime Minister than would be David Cameron (who was today pleased to tell the House of Commons that the demonstrations were only possible because of the Iraq War!), that is not saying anything, and does not alter the fact that we all know who the real Butcher of Basra is.

My father commanded the Poachers in WWII when it was 2 Lincolns.
ReplyDeleteAnd I support the battalion now, while protesting strongly against their use by this ghastly government in an illegal war in Iraq.
To our dying shame we have failed to prosecute Blair for the Nuremberg offense of conspiring to commit aggression and sending the Poachers to Iraq.
Thank you for distinguishing between the Anglian Regiment and our war criminal government.
A pity that the protestors couldn't.
ReplyDeleteThe usual tabloid response is that the army is fighting these wars so that the protestors can be free to demonstrate.
ReplyDeleteBut when that freedom is actually used......the tabloids complain.
