What if it was a 52%- 48% decision? Would we hold another referendum? Perhaps, a protest march on London and instruct a group of solicitors to demand a re think?
Maybe we could just all go home and not bother having a defence force, in case we offend anyone? Stick with Corbyns way of stern letters and T-shirt campaigns.
I agree with Tamworth.
You signed up to a strict disciplinarian career. It isn't the soldiers place to question that order type.
If you are asked to shoot a child or woman/man in cold blood, then that's different.
But to suggest that troops say, no we aint going. I think Tony Blair may be telling a few piggies.
Blame the people who issued that order, especially under the false reasons given.
Blair should be in court by now.
