So, to sum things up, we were there being the world's police force again.
Have you suffered in some way? You certainly make yourself sound stupid.
Edit: just seen you live in Birkenhead - so clearly you must be suffering every day! lol
Clearly it was in the "small print", but it is only over the last few years when Blair slashed the forces, and looked for wars, that they were used as front line forces. They only ever used to be used if they had specialist skills that were needed, and then, I understand, after special...
Clearly you cannot even read!
I actually said "Anyone who joins our armed forces these days is either desperate for a job, mad, or a complete mug!" So, what is there to "discuss"?
Just to clarify, my "mad" refered to "enjoy looking for a fight" type mad, and not "stupid" type mad. Clearly they...
You have noted my point. I totally agree with your comments about the sacrifise of the individuals. You have conveniently missed my other catagory of those who join, knowing where they will be sent, of "mad". I know a number of my sons' friends who have actually joined up fall squarely in that...
So, where is the relevance?
Oh, and why am I ignorant for not liking the fact that our armed forces are now used as the world's policemen? As I have said, I have nothing but respect for our armed forces - but why would anyone join them these days? When is kicks off over the Falklands again...
Well done. Whould you have joined up to fight for no cause in Afganistan?
I would gladly fight for my country, but not in lost causes without justification.
No it is not only about now. The comments related to the guy saying if people wanted to fight, they should join the forces.
Those who are remembered, have my full respect, and include my own family obviously.
What a load of crap!
Anyone who joins our armed forces these days is either desperate for a job, mad, or a complete mug!
We gave up our empire to stop "our boys" having to die to defend it - now we send tham to fight other peoples' wars anyway. WHY?
Only a couple of times, by big london clubs. And we always stood our ground. What happened to Arsenal when they tried to take the North Stand in our first ever game in the First Division. Most times when it was taken, it was because they got in their early, and old bill protected them.
How...
I agree.
All these songs back like "you're too ugly to be gay" make us look pathetic. I would much rather these lads have a go at reminding them our legacy from the 70s and early 80s lives on.
I have see some of our lads have a go at the other teams' equivelents, but, as has been said...
