War Part 3

Here's my final example from the HYS forum,

Barely a day goes by without these 'heroes' moaning about one thing or another.

Are they really saying that these men, at the peak of physical fitness, can't handle a few lads shouting some nasty words, and that they need a law to protect their feelings?

Yes, because quite simply the litigation society we have at present caused by people concerned with the "Human Rights" of the accused means that if they did react and deal with "the lads" they would be sued and put into prison.

Unfortunately the European Declaration of Human rights has meant that although these trained protectors of our freedom (and they are deployed in more places than just Afghanistan and Iraq please note!) are unable to help us normal citisens to regain the Britain that has respect!

That's it for now I am off to do work ....

War Part 2

This is another of the posts from Have your say but I really got angry with it!

While I don't condone the abuse of people, the armed services should realise that the invasion of Iraq was illegal and that the invaders were fighting for the USA, not the UK. Don't people remember the anti-war marches?

Obviously this person doesn't realise that it was the POLITICIANS who decided to go to war not the army. They didn't have a choice to go or not, the Army asked for confirmation that the Iraq war was legal and they got this confirmation!!!!

Okay at the end of the day that information may or may not have been correct however once they had been given an answer they COULD NOT say no to going into action.

If they did they leave themselves open for loosing there job and possibly being imprisoned!

Yes I do have family out there at the moment so have a vested interest in the War. Regardless of your feelings towards the legality of the war you must realise that these members of our military our doing there job and are trying to make Iraq a better place. The beginning of the war may have been a bad choice but hopefully .... in the end life will be somehow better and we'll get our troops back.

Have your Say ... Again

Okay so I was silly enough to read the news when I got up this morning, there's a heck of a lot of people discussing whether it is correct for Soldiers to ware there Uniforms in public ....

I've got one or two posts from the BBC website that I would like to talk about .. however the one I have Copied and Pasted here I think stands by itself and I don't need to make any more comments!

What sort of message are we giving to our Service people?

This is the only country where such nonsense exists, imagine the USA or France or Israel thinking in this way?

In these countries service people who are the youth are praised in Israel you don't even pay for a bus if your in uniform people want to give you respect and are proud of you.

I remember the days when the sight of Sailors and soldiers were a common site at railway stations in the UK.

The Final Countdown of Uni!

The end.....

Okay so I have the feeling this is theme alot of my blogs have already taken, however, here I sit in halls, not able to sleep yet not awake enough to do any real work. I'm awake not cause I wan't to be but I can't help thinking of the fact when these next 5 assignments and 3 exams are done I've finished!

Finished Uni, part of me didn't see it coming .... I can't say its gone by in a flash. It hasn't it feels like many years ago I first moved into Kirkstone .... that was a really good year but it all seems so long ago.

Ah well I think I am gonna try and sleep and hope there are no more fire alarms! Although its gone quiet in halls so this might be what there waiting for .... you never no!
