Regardless of the question, an excellent answer. An excellent statement.

I absolutely effing weep at what our service, and country has come to.

And then to compound it you have Corbyn on TV this morning spouting that he still hasn't made his mind up re allowing his MP's a free vote... Nothing like being decisive is there. Ohhh and before I forget he was wittering on about his clear mandate again, but at least he has bought himself a decent suit... Either that or he borrowed it.

When all you have is a hammer (or 8 Tornadoes), every problem looks like a nail. The Government's apparent unwillingness to learn about fighting without clear military objectives is breathtakingly arrogant.

If you aim at nothing, you will hit it.

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.
