Netanyahu plays the Holocaust card...

I thought I'd made it very clear, I wouldn't be getting on a plane to Iraq, as it would be stupid. Anyone who thinks it is worth dying for a few quid, anyone who has to evaluate their choice of jobs with one option of am I coming home alive, aint the brightest of all people.

How are you made of the right stuff when things go tits up? Please don't cut my head off. Or do you have this somewhat stupid notion that you'd Chuck Norris their asses off and escape over the border to Jordan? **** me, even the SAS couldn't manage that.

I know someone going to Bosnia to do mine clearance.

Going from a small war pension to over 5k a week, I can't blame him for being tempted

It depends how tulip your life is, sometimes it's worth risking it for the money

That's your opinion. They are not deserved of my respect, and haven't defended my right to do, or be, anything. Blair sold them all down the river, not me. My conscience is clear. In fact, the soldiers who complained about going should be held in contempt.

Blair was the elected prime Minister and you were not. Your entirely subjective opinion of the war is irrelevant.

If you do not believe that these boys are defending you then pick up your rifle and defend yourself, go stand next to them. The current conflicts may not be just or right, but our forces are out there doing what we ask of them.

Alternatively, hand in your passport and **** off.

What tact is that precisely?

Churchill made a tactful post. Don't do it again Churchill.....

How long before the mods move large parts of this thread to "Squaddie willy waving part 2"?

Um, no. I didn't ask them, didn't vote for Blair and was against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Free world, I believe.

Again, opinion, it's mine, and not bound by your rules. I'd do some growing up if I were you.

Can't be 100% certain but I'm beginning to pick up the distinct whiff of a possibility that some squaddie has been shagging Zoidermans girlfriend and shagging her hard.

He's weighed it all up and chosen the money. I hope he coems out of it alright. I wouldn't have done it. I cna see your point though.

Honestly, is this the best you can do? Honestly?

Can't you accept that I am no fan of the Armed Forces? Can't you?

Anyway, I believe barrack room boys like their own...

[BrilloPad]

Free world, I believe.

Well certain bits are. Alot is not. Do you not feel any gratitude to those who have defended the free world? Not even your family?
