I AGREE with R Westmorland (Letters, July 22) that the official statements from our Government regarding British armed forces in Afghanistan, and also Iraq, are little short of propaganda.
Of course, we have our military there to support the American forces. I feel sorry for the thousands of conscripts in the American military.
Unfortunately, I see the British forces in a different light. There is no conscription here, so it is a career choice.
Earning a living fighting unjustifiable wars in foreign lands doesn’t impress me.
