Many did old boy.
However like most comments on this forum they reflected deep held passions and grievances etc. and were known to be impossible for many reasons, legality amongst them. The same applies to the sensitive subjects of marine A and the real sh1te killers of Lee Rigby(or should I say alleged killers)) People will hold a view (I do) which is not supported by our laws, ROE and so on, . We also know that the opinions do not or may not match official thinking. To dismiss someones opinion because a "war" does not exist because our pollies have not declared the situation as such is sheer nonsense and shows an inability to think beyond the "rules". If you fully support and agree with them so be it.......if you don't do something about it.
I suspect when people refer to the Afghanistan War they are referring to the "war" with the taliban and various terrorist insurgents
