From my own personal experience Soldering is a noble profession and always will be. Solders always believe they will survive whatever is happening around them, During periods of active service ie Afghanistan, Iraq et al the British armed forces have a surge of recruits wanting to see action. It will never change. However my deffinition of war is 'A total failure of politicians to find a peaceful solution'. Regards JDW
