WHY do we have to blindly "support our boys". You seem to suggest that it is unpatriotic not to support "our boys and girls".
If this was true for the Americans, on that basis they would still be fighting in Vietnam, as it was only criticism that stopped the war.
Our boys are fighting for the wrong reasons and it does them no credit to blindly and unconditionally support them for this.
The phrase "only obeying orders" resonates through history and maybe is it now time to try a different way. War breeds war.
Our boys are not fighting in my name.
DAVID MURRAY, Martley.
