AS A service veteran of seven years, I refer to your headline on the front page (Oxford Mail, September 9, Pray it’s the Last) referring to bodies returning from Afghanistan.

Of course it won’t be the last while we continue to fight pointless wars.

Neither will praying to imaginary Gods make any difference whatsoever as they probably don’t exist.

We must wake up to reality and stop fighting, which will save millions of pounds and countless young lives.
