The people that i spoke to in my pidgieon serb croat, or throgh the interpreter that i had, were indeed hoping to get to england, because it was a place of riches for them, not because they were indeed being persecuted , as by our presence we had liberated these people and given them freedom, and when i was giving them aid sent from all areas of the world, having spent weeks of co-ordination of the delivery of aid, then for these people to throw it into the nearest bin cos it was not designer lable, yes i did lose quite alot of patience withthem, however i did persevere.

Well, that's fair enough, and I think it is much to your credit that you did, really I do.
I sense that we're probably going to have different takes on this, so there's not really much point in thrashing around this subject - I guess we'll have to accept we perhaps look at things a little differently.
And, not that it is that relevant (but if is very important in stating), I think British soldiers did (and continue to do) a very good (and much underrated) job in the Balkans. Iraq and Afghanistan might get the headlines now, but the peace keeping/democratisation programmes in the Balkans are every bit as important - and in this regards British soldiers are real world leaders.
