From Rwanda to Srebrenica, rigid international frameworks have stalled decisive action, leaving both civilians and soldiers exposed. Understanding these failures is crucial to creating a balance.
Our Armed Forces are thoroughly trained to be excellent fighting troops. They are trained in warfare, trained to fight and kill if necessary, they are not trained to be peace keepers. Law makers are generally not sufficiently familiar with military matters and fail to understand, with some notable exceptions, how quickly life and death decisions have to be taken based upon split second assessments. Perhaps it should be mandatory that experienced senior officers from the Army, Navy and Air Force are heavily involved in the drafting of ALL terms and agreements of laws involving service men and women.
Let's be proud of our armed forces and give them the recognition they deserve.
