Pointless deaths – pointless war

Our Armed Forces Minister Bill Rammell claims that the British may become “so risk-averse, cynical and introverted that we will find ourselves in inglorious and impotent isolation by default” just because the majority of the public can see that our politicians are lying, greedy, self-serving crooks who have sent our troops poorly-equipped into a poinltess and unwinnable war where they are being killed by ordinary Afghanis who see us as foreign invaders.

Mr. Rammell will probably die a rich man of old age in his bed, unlike the brave soldiers being sent to pointless deaths by politicians who “frankly don’t give a damn”. After all, fighting to preserve a thoroughly corrupt expenses system is much more important to our elected leaders than the loss of a few hundred lives in a hopeless war.
