I have a few mates on standby now for Libya and they are ground troops we may not be going in with 1000's but i bet we will stick some ground troops in.
If you look at previous conflicts over the last 20 years
Falklands No fly zone broken ground troops went in
Bosnia No fly zone ground troops went in then UN took over
Kosovo No fly zone ground troops went in Un took over
Then you have Iraq and Afgan which i totally agree with as a serving soldier, fight them on there own ground rather than let them come to the UK and repeat 7/7. Yes it may do with OIL but if we dont have it then alot of things in the world will stop.
