There are good lads and bad lads; ones who are there for the right reasons, and some, not many, I suspect, for the wrong.<br /><br />It’s not their fault that they are engaged in a war that few of us here know anything about, and very few of us agree with. Although I deplore what they are doing, I do know that (in most cases) they are doing it under orders. Compared to other countries, we treat our troops badly, and then that odious old buffoon sits there one say lying through his teeth about how much money he spends on them; they only have to ask and they get; and the next day flies out for a photo-opportunity with them.<br /><br />Yuchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh He makes me soooooo sickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-91382897199290304902010-03-24T11:45:15.708+00:002010-03-24T11:45:15.708+00:00Fair do's.

Like I ...Well Naldo, I'm anti war in every way. Like I say, we are supposed to sophisticated human beings. Fighting people, blowing their legs off, torturing them and razing their towns, all seems to me to be primitive and, well savage.<br /><br />But, if we are going to have a budget for military things and send troops to do a job abroad fighting for whatever it is we are fighting....like primitive people unable to sort out our differences, we need to spend that (massive) budget on the people doing the fighting. Not gyms in the Ministry of Defence for clerks, or drivers for Generals and Field Marshalls, expenses for dinners and entertaining, not nuclear weapons and submarines which will never be used but give the Prime Minister an excuse to stay at the top table.<br /><br />What I demand is decent kit for the guys who have to do the dirty stuff; proper homes for their families to live in so that they don’t have to worry about them, decent food, enough ammunition, and, with all the administrators that we pay for...enough stuff in the right place at the right time.<br /><br />If there are to be cut, it shouldn’t be at the bottom level. It should be at the top, in administration, and in perks for the nobs.<br /><br />I just wish all the leaders would just grow up and sort their difficulties out in a grown up 21st century kind of wayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-55596620415266962662010-03-23T17:19:24.335+00:002010-03-23T17:19:24.335+00:00I honestly find it very difficult to get worked up...I honestly find it very difficult to get worked up about how tough "our boys" have it. <br /><br />Anyone who joins the armed forces knows that they are signing up to do a shite job which will involve being expected to try and kill people. <br /><br />That's not a good, decent or honourable thing to do.naldohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563789247589179756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-19358811367196485802010-03-23T13:12:00.521+00:002010-03-23T13:12:00.521+00:00http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/...http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/bruce-anderson/bruce-anderson-nothing-incriminates-mr-brown-like-his-contempt-for-the-army-1917815.html<br /><br />This is worth a read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-36680366647896797742010-03-23T13:03:59.080+00:002010-03-23T13:03:59.080+00:00Naldo.

It beats the hell out of me that in the 21st century, with all the sophistication that we profess to have, we are still running around killing each other like savages.<br /><br />Not of course because ‘Soldier A’ from the UK particularly hates ‘Soldier B’ from Afghanistan. He doesn’t. Given another situation they would sit down and talk about footie, their kids, their town, or who knows, poetry, music, books...... Nope, the reason they are trying to kill each other is because Brown wants to keep his lardy arse on a seat not to terribly distant from Presidents Hu and Obama, so that he will look important.<br /><br />The building of schools, hospitals, roads without craters, railways that are fit for the 20th century never mind the 21st is a better use of money in this century.... but when will it happen...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-49366832346980534792010-03-23T12:56:05.342+00:002010-03-23T12:56:05.342+00:00If you find out more could you let me know SR.
