"The Accused" last night

I still need some clarification on why you refer to the British Army as "Baby killers".

Your response to "Cailin Maith" didn't answer that particular point.

Also I assume you meant "Wootton Bassett" in your post.

"Baby killers" - See top of the post. The bit about "troll".
Wooton Bassett. I stand corrected. Many thanks. I will not edit my post, because, like a good Persian carpet, perfection cannot be earthly achieved, so anything man made must contain an imperfection

Anything man AND woman made too by the sounds of it.

You certainly help to substantiate that theory.

"baby killers"


Nuff said!

Thank goodness for that. "Don't be vague, Maim a Taig..."

Do you think an army is necessary for a western democracy?

Yeah BdP, I killed women and children, I killed just about everything that walked or crawled,
and I'm here to kill you lil'BdP for what you did to Ned

Cough, splutter! ;-)

Hey it's not your turn to talk yet I've got the conch!

Nice one. Simon, Piggy, or Ralph?

Ok - I think though, you are being a little unfair. The Army didn't make the choice to go to war, the politians did.

True, but correct me if I'm wrong here, after 9 years it's fair to say the vast majority of the troops being killed or injured in Afghanistan are people who volunteered to join up whilst this war was being waged, and so effectively have made the choice to go to war, and have made the choice to go fight in this war in particular.

Exactly.
