I get really cross with some people I know, they're getting all happy clappy saying that we shouldn't bomb Syria because we'll kill many innocent people and that ISIS will launch terror attacks on the UK.
I seem to pop a few veins and send smoke out of my ears when I hear that nonsense
. Firstly I point out that our aircraft have been flying into Iraq to hit ISIS targets, and at the same time point out that the complainers never batted an eyelid to that going on did they! Also, its a fact that our forces have been engaged in various conflicts around the globe for years, so going into Syrian airspace is just another day in the office for our aircrews.
Also, all this talk of us killing innocent civilians is complete garbage, ISIS are doing that anyway, so what do the happy clappies expect us to do? Let ISIS get on with it, or do we get in there and sort them out... what is it to be???
And, I take great pleasure in informing the complainers that the RAF are using high precision weapons, which are so accurate that the risk to civilian casualties is extremely low indeed. Not to mention that the RAF are not taking this on alone, as we are part of a bigger force involving some 18 countries (my last count).
I wish these happy clappy tree hugging loonies would really see the bigger picture, and understand that to do nothing isn't really an option!!!
