The whole thing smacks of a knee jerk reaction to Paris:
Within 2 days we were suddenly committing x billions more to defence. Where was that plucked from? What detailed assessment of security preceded the announcement?
Now we are on the fringe of bombing somewhere we had already elected not to and which has been bombed anyway in our absence. To what end? Whats the outcome we want. In the meantime a NATO country bombs those that might engage the people we want to remove, whilst Russia props up the regime we want to remove, and also bombs the enemy that wants to exploit the vacuum it would create.
No wonder Corbyn is stepping back. It's a cluster**** of epic proportions.

However if tasked, I'm sure we'll carry out the task in the professional manner one would expect.
