There should be a lot more than only Blair on trial. A whole military and intelligence service found wanting. This country still cant handle it -too big for them. Too big to be even really acknowledged.
It was obvious to those that could see that in the late Summer of 2002 we were on the way to war. Physical military evidence was in abundance.
Many senior officers fell over themselves to be involved with it - the operation.
But subsequent no WMD find and an utterly ham fisted underfunded disastrous "peace" meant it was exposed as the bastard orphan of an operation that it was.
A lot of people are guilty in regards the war and not just politicians. I lost faith in our senior officers for ever afterwards and have been dubious about the UK military ever since.
Arkroyal are you sure? You would have had to crack on with it like so many did - I had some doubts but thought it was too big to be the lie it ultimately was.
Vividly remember a fellow Senior Rate picking up on the actual legality of the whole war and subsequently being put down by the Captain... we all fell in line like a row of sheep.
Hope Chilcott is honest, brave and not establishment but this is Britain 2015....
