The scholars of Islam have stated that it is not permitted to support the kaafirs against the Muslims, and that is kufr (disbelief) and riddah (apostasy).
If you are sent to wage war against the Muslims, then it is not permissible for you to take part at all. Helping the kaafirs against the Muslims is a form of major kufr which puts one beyond the pale of Islam.

Except that neither Afghanistan nor Iraq is a "war against the Muslims". After all, there are Muslims on all sides there. Like I said, in both places British soldiers are fighting side-by-side with Muslims.
No doubt you consider all of them (Iraqi/Afghan police, army, government, etc) apostates. But that you think only a minority of Muslims are actually Muslims is not something these Muslims soldiers in the British army should take very seriously IMHO.
