Conscription. Would you fight?

[Josh Blue]

Fact eh? Is this in your experience of serving in the military? Or being at school?

Seeing a Soldier on leave putting a bottle round someones head I'm gna stick with what I said earlier.

Doesn't make him a coward. Makes him a **** sure but not a coward.

But how you can sit there on that vanilla fence of yours and say anyone that fights on the front line is a coward is beyond me.

I guess people have different opinions on what a coward is. I think the people who rape and torture are cowards you may think they are just cunts.

This American Soldier serves on the frontline ... I would call him a coward.

Josh-Do you know the American soldier in the video.I would guess not. You cannot generalise like you have about all military personel being cowards because of a bottling that happened in your local. You said and again I will quote you "you know a fair few"..Well I for one am awaiting these fair few details

Stoner.I agreed with the reasoning why we went into Afghan however I have stated clearly in the past that this war is a war that is unwinnable. Therefore we must create stability as best as we can,try to remove as many factions of the Taliban that we can(training camps) and then leave. This is not an eye for an eye argument for me,this is about trying to give a bit of a better life to the people of Afghanistan

If thats true, then why do people in the army often refer to people in Iraq and Afghanistan as "ragheads" if your there to make their lives "better"?

Again...Please provide me with the evidence of this or I will just ignore your stupid rant.

Why do some city fans call united fans "munichs"???

Are you telling me that is not true? We both know it is mate.
That said, being called "raghead" pales in comparison to the other stuff they have been known to get up to...

What "point" are you making dabs and what does it have to do with the op?

We know you like to be anti establishment and anti-septic but don't derail the thread.

My point? Harry Patch put it better than I ever could -"War is the calculated and condoned slaughter of human beings"
"war isn't worth one life"
As for derailing the thread, dont make me laugh.

OK So we will put you down as a 'c'

Would you carpet bomb them?

Only if they had underlaying problems that needed to be tacked down and gripped.
I draw the lino at that.

Skirting the issue?

What a pile of rubbish!

Why would i fly half way round the world to fight some **** who's done jack to me????

Ali had it right - i'd be 1st in the line to say 'fuck off'!!!1

A. If it's on top - I know when my age group were around during the Falklands - everybody wanted to get stuck in. Although I did tell my mates, we'll have kicked their arses before we're halfway trained.....

I think Josh must be quite young not that his opinion isn't an interesting one. I am quite happy to say I served 9yrs in the military and can honestly say I never once witnessed bullying. To say that "there are a fair few in the ranks" is really quite disrespectful. I would say that there are more internet keyboard warrior bullies on here than in the forces! Just ask TH[/quote]

I also have served with the military and am really surprised that you didn't witness bullying.(though, admittedly, most were weeded out in basic training.)
Josh, I also work for the church and I can tell you that in my advancing years, I have witnessed bullying, cunts and cowards in all walks of life.

By the way, a) but for selfish reasons.
