Are Iraq and Afghanistan soldiers exploited?

Published: Sunday August 5,2007 by Maggie

All our armed forces are being exploited,now more have been promised to Defur.
Politicians start wars,the pity is they do not have to fight in them,no, its not good enough to say that fighting is what a soldier does but he/she should not be expected to put their lives on the line with dodgy equipment etc. in any war especially those wars which are not in defence of the realm,the two conflicts mentioned have escalated out of hand and service personnel are dying needlessly becaus no politician who started them can stop them,they just go on sending young people to those hell holes, not spending enough money to make sure they are all looked after but at the same time they are still enjoying their junkets,cash shortages or not.
Can any politician say how long these conflicts will last, they will hedge but not put their heads on the block,families will mourn ,a part of a generation lost in the end, for what?
