    • With you on the brothers in arms, Happysailor. And no. No conflict is any different. Soldiers go where they are sent. If some people don’t like it I suggest they change the damned politicians.

      • Thank you, Waylander, no Soldier has a choice as to where they are sent.

        • Never a truer word Tania………the young today seem to be a lot more adventurous than we were in our day, maybe the opportunities and funds were not there for us, our wish lists were marriage kids……times have changed……..my grandson does some risky traveling and will be driving to and touring around Scandinavia this month for three weeks rough camping……that one I can live with…. buttttt…a couple of years down the road and the planned trip is driving to Africa and touring around for three months again rough camping………I do not try and persuade him not to……..we only have one life and he must live his dreams………you will only ever regret the things you don’t do……..no point in regretting what you did do, the past cannot be changed, just learn from it……
