Extremely well put Nugz.
I would be the first to turn complete psycho on any invaders but I can't agree with the way our troops are being used at this point in time.
I believe the British military to be the one all other countries model themselves on and I am more than proud of our history in battle.
We apologise for the empire we built , I refuse to as I believe we didn't just take we aided too. The infrastructure we built as invaders is still in use today and it benefits some of the countries we invaded but it doesn't mean we were right to enforce our will on those countries .

The point of any armed force should be to defend it's citizens and protect thier rights and beliefs , it shouldn't be used to try to impose those ideals on another nation.
