I find it interesting that Iraq was missed in the list of countries helped by our armed forces! Talk about brushing that little mistake under the carpet!
I understand why we went into Afghanistan, the Taliban support terrorism against us. I think history should have taught us that Afghanistan is not an easy country to defeat/control, Russia failed for example!
Although we went into Iraq on dubious information at the time I supported the war because it should have been a positive move for the people of Iraq. Saddam Hussain was an awful leader and I don’t think anyone can seriously argue removing him was a bad idea.

IRAQ/AFGHANISTAN REGIME CHANGE
notice how they say that they are aginst all countries that abuse human rights, but nothing is ever said about baharain or saudi arabia! just shows how horribly biased they are.
and labour reduced our type 45 destroyers from 12 to 8 then 8 to 6-raise the budget lol
they are also responsible for astute going well over budjet
and for scrapping 2 helicopter carriers + having to change the design of the carriers just to cut costs in the future
dont get me wrong, i might be wrong and i understand that cuts have to be made, but seriously the Tories have so far shown they are also disinterested in defence, everytime we have a Strategic defence review it equals more cuts, there is never anything strategic about it, its a Treasury driven cost cutting exercise. With no union to represent the armed forces it’s easy pickings and if something does popup the government can always blame the previous administration, if they want to have a crappy defence force, then stop getting us involved in conflicts like Libya.

As a conservative voter but being open minded at this important time of election..I am concerned that defence is not mentioned more when discussions arise on TV when labour are given the opportunity to talk about policy should they be elected.
With grave doubts about the labour leadership and chancellors experience …my concern is how the country would be led should they come I to power especially with the great worries in Ukraine and Russia’s actions there and other concerns where Russia is concerned which have very serious implications.
I want to know what labour s defence policy is as the country has gradually lost respect and strength of character in the world over the last century.
So Ed Milliband….as you appear weak in character ..though your voice is not…I would like you to convince me why I should consider voting labour from a defence of this country viewpoint for the sake of my grandchildren and the future of this country.
