It says if he dosen't get to go then he might quit the army.
And never mind the people around him that get hurt/killed when his platoon is attacked to get at him because of who he is? In my opinion a true sense of responsibility should exist toward his comrades, and no, he should not go. If he does then there will HAVE to be very special treatment to protect him, that will be paid for by every tax payer and maybe also with a few lives. Besides, his dictating where he is going and what he is going to do is in effect special treatment.
As for comparing the Falklands war with the Iraqui, they are incomparable not only in the battle field, but also in the public opinion arena (I didn't live here during the falklands war, but I am under the impression that the UK backed their troops and the war en-mass).
An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing
