The army doesn't much like Blair.
As might have been expected following Blair's ignorant, insulting and patronising speech given at HMS Albion, the men and women who are dying for Blair's warmongering weren't much impressed (via BlairWatch):

"On the part of the military, they need to accept that in a volunteer armed force, conflict and casualty may be part of what they are called upon to face."
Blair - I've no doubt you've been on this website and I hope you're reading this.
I sit here typing this in tears of anger, frustration and despair.
Having never served, HOW FCUKING DARE YOU make a comment like that. The finest, brightest, strongest, bravest young men and women in this country signed on the dotted line in selfless service of their country and you BETRAYED them by sending them into unsound conflict without adequate support.
YOU have made the decision to send young soldiers into a HELL from which some have never returned.
...
And if you think I'm being unreasonble, consider for a second my friends and comrades who will never again see the light of day. Consider the parents who leave their brave young son's bedroom just as he left it in the false hope that he might one day come home to them. Consider the children who, whilst you were no doubt enjoying a family christmas, wept and sobbed because daddy wasn't there to open his presents - Because you murdered him in your political pandering.
May your dreams be haunted for the rest of your days by the youth and laughter which you've so smugly poured away.
Blair. You fcuking cnut.
