They don't have the benefit of lengthy debate and thought processes and are often performing at less than peak physical conditions due to lack of sleep, stress etc ... But I digress - this isn't going anywhere and I really don't like this thread. TP bowing out .... |
At the risk of sounding contentious I feel the need to point out that we don't have conscription in this country so all in the forces are there by choice. From what I can make of it the lifestyle is pretty reasonable during times of peace and at the end of the day if you sign up for the job you do have to accept that you'll have to actually do it one day. I sympathise with the fact that they have been used innapropriately on this occasion but anyone with one eye open should be in fear of what B.Liar will dream up next in direct opposition to what this country wants.
I don't feel that what went on was warranted it was just another show of "strength" which has backfired and caused us all far more danger from terrorist activities.
