I once spoke with an old kiwi bloke who was with 2 NZEF in the desert in WW2 and his exact words still ring true today.
son if you look at it ,the buggers were fighting when jesus roamed the place ,and theres been scraps of all sorts ever since ,and i suspect they'll still be at it long after me and YOU are long in the ground".
furthermore a lot of this combat of course has a secondary purpose being an ongoing illegal arms super dealers supermarket and demonstration ground.
I share rushys sentiments as a former peacetime grunt,but im also cognisant of the other side as a psych nurse forwe are starting to see severely traumatised refugees from middle eastern countries presenting for help.
Is there an answer Ido not know.
