Collins heard knee-jerk reactions from both ends of the political spectrum ("More weapons;" "Less Bush"); diatribes on the fear-mongering popular press; muddy knowledge ("There isn’t any oil in Iraq!"); and a lot of outright despair.

 Tim Collins in Iraq
During the second Gulf War in 2003 Lieutenant-Colonel Tim Collins was a 42-year-old commander of The Royal Irish battle group and delivered this speech to his troops in Kuwait, just hours before they went into battle.
Collins spoke of history, family, respect, dignity, and the individual moral choice between killing justly, and just killing.
Before 1914, battle rhetoric strictly followed the cadences of Henry V and Henry Newbolt: “We few, we happy few”; “Play up and play the game.” But after four years of carnage, the holy abstractions of honour, patriotism and duty, framed into set-piece epitaphs by Rudyard Kipling and carved on numberless gravestones, seemed grotesque.
