Thats why i have sympathy in a way for those soldiers injured/killed that signed up before Iraq but very little/none for those that signed up afterwards. They knew what they were getting.

You are talking political. Thats got nothing to do with this or you are of the assumption that when you put on a uniform you turn into a mindless drone. Thats not what this is about either.
I spent a long time in the army so what I said is said with some experience. I don't know about the British army and that might be the way there but not here.
