But if you want to put the actual threat level outside the main theater of operation as a parameter, everyone in the UK and RAFG should have got a GSM during the NI troubles as barracks and individuals were tagetted, killed and bombed.
Wrong - NI was a situtation where the police primacy in a part of the UK could not be ensured and the MOD helped out. This is a totally diiferent situation where another soveriegn nation airspace and land has been used to conduct legally approved violent acts. The idea of a rose for those inside the Irak and Syria and without for outside is a good one.
Drawing a parallel between changing a spark plug on a Tri* and being involved in a kill chain, or being 'on the ground' , indicates that you probably have no experience of either.
