True. Think it really started with the Thatcher woman lying through

Whether the Belgrano sinking was right or wrong, it took place at a

War was never announced for Iraq (AFAIK), and I never saw the
justification for sending our troops into harms way without being properly
equipped.
Soldiers got killed in a war zone.... so what?
Yes there may have been a logistics problem, wars have been lost on such
