If PM's traded respect by sending me to war based on lies then there is NO PM that could meet those so called standards because every person has been sent to war based on lies. This is what politicians do, compromise and lie to achieve what they want and a politicians aim is re election and a legacy. The requirements to be PM are not set by anybody but the party who can muster a majority of votes in Parliament.
The Armed Forces don't get to choose their political masters nor should they.
Sadly it seems people are happy to support the Lance Corporal based on their hatred for the Politics of the PM rather than seeing a bigger picture.
I wonder would Maggie still be loved if Galtieri had waited a year to start the Falklands war ?
When you are in Uniform you don't get involved in Party politics and sadly that is what has occured here.
