I agree with Not a boffin.
I can't say I would be overly impressed if yet more lives of our service personnel were lost in this country, for what seems to be absolutely nothing at this point.
This 'war' is political, and it will continue to be fought on the battlefield for as long as all sides involved continue to be arrogant and disregard human life. They need to wake up and take it to the negotiating table where it belongs and it should stay.
