I read soldier Michael Kelly's comments (The Argus, June 5) and was dismayed that the men and women who are serving in Iraq (and probably Afghanistan also) feel that we are letting them down.

Like many others, I do not agree with what the Government has done but we elected them under a democratic process and we have to live with that situation until the public get the chance to vote at the next general election.

In the meantime, I am convinced that the majority of the public do support the armed forces wherever they may be in the world.

It is a shame that the peace protesting minority get so much coverage in the media.

Our service men and women are the best and we must always show support for them whatever the peace protesters might have us think. Keep up the good work Michael. Iraq needs you.
