Utter rubbish, clueless, uneducated sad little individual. Our Armed Forces are not the US, stop comparing them. They abide by a completely different set of rules of engagement. Can the US still use anti-personnel mines, cluster munitions? Yes. Can the British? No. Because we are different. Do we fly the same aircraft? Yes, but does that make us the same? No.
