Some interesting comments since I posted up last night!!! Including some which seem to suggest that people only join the Forces because they are not clever enough to apply themselves to anything else. So are we all stupid then????
Stef, It's quite interesting what you say about people joining-up, because of family ties. My dad served 23 years. But from being at school, all I wanted to do was to join the Army. And I think I have more than 2 brain cells, due to some of the technical aspects of my career.
(Nothing you said by the way Stef!!!)
I'm very proud of what and who I am, and who I represent: My country!!!
I know the risks involved, but that doesn't make it any easier when I have to leave my wife, and 10 year old daughter.
I dont know what else to say guys, 'cept I know that some politicians aren't whiter than white, but the guys on the ground are not the bad guys. Also, in my view, Iraq has little to do with all the recent attacks world wide! Have people forgotten where the 7/7 bombers originated from, and also the foiled bombing??? Not Iraq, thats for sure.
All in the name of blind religous belief!!!!
