The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan seem devoid of purpose because our country and our people haver never been harmed by the Taliban or the Iraqis.

Al-Qaeda harmed Britain and yet Bush or Blair never seemed to put much effort into eliminating this threat.

This does NOT mean our government should have NO duty of care towards frontline troops who put their lives on the line in Iraq and Afghanistan, forces charities suggest.

The total number of UK troops killed in operations in Iraq has reached 173 after the deaths of two military personnel in a helicopter crash near Baghdad on 20 November.

Sir Richard Dannatt Chief of Defence staff has said,"troops are not being adequately rewarded for risking their lives, or adequately cared for when they are injured in the course of performing their duty."

We need to raise our standards.
