As appauling and horrific the situation most certainly is, the terrible truth is that all assets are severely stretched to say the least. The sad fact is, we are in no condition to get involved in yet another Middle Eastern conflict.
Despite the shortfalls of personell and equipment I have no doubt that if asked to go, the boys and girls would step up to the plate and serve with the courage and distinction that we have all come to expect of them.
But would it serve the greater good, or just make the situation even worse? (and yes, unfortunately, it could get alot worse).
