please excuse this question if it has been raised before?
Am I correct in my understanding that our government is considering arming the opposition forces in Syria ?if that is their intention that puzzles me our own forces many times have called for better arms for the fighting they are involved in if, we can arm these opposition people that must go down like a lead balloon to our soldiers I recall a shortage of combat body armour that led to a death in our forces, our leaders have certainly lost the plot if it goes ahead.
Old Grumpy; you and me my friend are thinking the same scenario is it possible that our leaders are as far thinking as we are ?or, will it be too little too late and we will become embroiled in another war?

Yes I think that is the latest idea. However how much do we really understand about the so called "opposition forces". Yes I do understand the ruthless and murderess actions on the civilian population by the Government forces, for which there is no excuse at all.
It made me think on the situation which happened in Afghanistan years ago, when the Taliban were engaged in a bitter contest with the Russians.Now the Taliban got their weapons supplied by the West in order to fight the Russians. Once the Russians eventually pulled out of Afghanistan, the very people who the west supplied arms to, are now attacking our Troops.
Could all this than turn to be the same result in Syria, once the "opposition" take control?

The shareholders in our arms industry have had a steady income since 1945-permanent state of war -human life seen as unimportant !

I don't think they will provide body armor. They will probably just get rifles
I can't see how they could provide them with body armor if they don't already give it to our troops, which they don't
