Opinions

Asked "What phrase or word will never be the same, now, that you have served [as a Royal Marine]?", Nel replied "“Just War” – All wars are stupid and unnecessary. Wars always end with people talking to each other, so why not leave out all the killing and destruction?" He concluded the interview by stating that "I am optimistic good will win out."
