It is an interesting point that peter h makes (akin to the one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter), and it is difficult to classify. However, look at the Army's mission statement: 'The British Army is a force for good, carrying out essential work both in the UK and overseas. Whether it's protecting the UK's security or fighting a war, keeping the peace in the world's hotspots or delivering humanitarian aid, our Army is respected worldwide for its ability to fulfil a role that no other organisation is trained or equipped to do.' That is correct, though obviously you wouldn't know peter h (as you seem to have no real connection to the armed forces) whether it was or not - you can just choose to make your upyourself selfish and childish comments without thinking about it. You are happy to tell us about your globe-trotting to run your (presumably exploiting) business, yet don't think about the massive support function the British armed forces play in the world peace keeping, and yes "regime changing".
