Many people might simply answer "you are not doing this at my request". Hard to think of a reason why the average Joe in the street will think this bombing campaign is any benefit to him. I certainly don't.
Point taken about the effort that a smallish military force has to muster to maintain a bombing campaign. But many people must be wondering (a) its comparatively small destructive result against this disparate group ISIS means it has (b) limited value to a bigger picture.
I like many just sit and think of this campaign....what's the point of it?
And frustratingly, I have a horrible feeling this will come back and bite us badly at home in the UK, when some of the ex ISIS/Syrian fighters eventually return here (which they will, they'll be back) unhappy and bitter at the RAFs work, or at anyone who doesn't seem to agree with their mad outlook, back to wreak havoc again, this time at home, on a tube, on a train or bus...that's why so many British people here are against it.
