The British army, along with most other developed countries' armies, is involved in a lot of overseas peace-keeping operations.

And irrespective of that, a soldier's political opinion is irrelevant, they should follow orders (unless that order breaches international law). You can't have an army where defecting is okay.

Why is it unreasonable of the government to expect soldiers to go to war when they're told?
