What a very silly question sorry but it is.
Why should his son join the forces to do is bit as you call it. Joining the forces is now a voluntary thing as National service was done away with in the late 1950's early sixties. Anyway Tony Blair's Eldest son (Euan) can make his own mind up surely at what career path he wants to follow. How would you feel if you were forced into something that was completely alien to you.
We live in an age where personal choice is all part of the democractic process one that we can be proud of in this country.
The only thing that was not democratic was the way were plunged into a war that was none of making and many of our young men paid the price with their lives.

As somebody else has indicated , the situation with "ifs" is that on on that foundation ,you could nonetheless tutor something. The waters surrounding the alternative which introduced approximately the invasion of Iraq have been so muddied --somewhat, it would desire to be pronounced, via the anti -warfare brigade ---- that a rational debate approximately this project remains impossible. bearing directly to the dodgy record , enormously much the entire international's intelligence community agreed with that dossiers conclusions --that Iraq probably had WMD and a WMD programme.Tony Blair believed that -- and he had no reason to think of in any different case. however the situation replaced into that quite some the data replaced into somewhat circumstantial. So an intelligence record that would desire to have contained words which includes "probably have " or "probably have " , tended as a replace to assert "actual has". And that replaced into the situation , by using fact an intelligence record would desire to state the data , and then furnish an assessment in step with those data . This record blurred the excellence between the two . Had the record basically reported the data and reported the intelligence assessment, in step with those data , Tony Blair could nonetheless have come to the tip that Iraq, probably/enormously much actual did certainly have some WMD , and additionally a WMD programme of a few style -- in view that replaced into the only clever end one would desire to come to . Had "energetic" WMD been cutting-edge in Iraq , then Tony Blair's attractiveness could certainly be plenty greater suitable than it is -- yet permit's no longer get too over excited a pair of guy that saved Gordon Brown as his Chancellor

His Tonyness has no control over what his son does. He doesn't have much control over anything these days. Blair said when he came to power that he did not want to loose a single British service person while he was PM. He then commited our forces to six wars. The latest one he has realised was a massive failiure. He will bring a few troops back because the local elections are happening soon (to little to late, just watch the results!) and the US will be left wallowing in their self made mire.

Two faced rings a bell to me with Blair at the moment. Yeah he is pulling out 1500 troops in april but they are due to come home in april as they have been out ther for 9 months - i know my cousin is out there now. The lot in december will be the same they are due back then anyway its just to make people think he is doing some thing about it.
Hope i have not offened you by saying this but its my opion really and what i know.
But a good question

Lol ... say no more eh.
I would imagine he would want his son to follow his lead and let others do his dirty work.
