Lemonade Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Aye and no, on the one hand your right they are doing a job, but on the other they are actually putting their lives on the line. I dont think every soldier is a hero, but a fair few of them go above and beyond what is expected of them, its like any job really.I think my opinion has been soured by pictures of soldiers hugging kids on Facebook and the cloying comments that follow them.

Teabags Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I definitely have no opinions on anything. I simply know a bit by a comedian to do with ANY situation that gets talked about on these forums. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Milner Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I think my opinion has been soured by pictures of soldiers hugging kids on Facebook and the cloying comments that follow them.Yeah i really fucking hate that shit. Dont try and make me feel bad for these guys just because they are away from their kids, where are the pictures of people coming home from a 3 month stint on a Nigerian Oil Rig?! Whilst i appreciate no one likes war, or likes being away from their family, but i do not need it shoved down my throat by cock bandits only interested in having a thousand likes on something they posted.

Soda Jerk Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I'm friends with a girl who is engaged to a soldier, so my wall is plastered with all kinds of stupid pro-soldier propaganda. From 'tearjerk' shite about how fucking brave they are, to all kinds of shite about footballers getting paids millions a year yet they are like, well soft, but soldiers are so tough and they kill the bad guys but only get paid MINIMUMWAGE!! LIKE THIS PICTURE IF YOU THINK THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE?!?! LET'S BLOW UP EVERYONE! THAT'LL SHOW EM!Or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I have more respect for the people who hand back medals and go AWOL in protest of fighting illegal wars and shit. We shouldn't have had folk overseas fighting and I assume the people that Soda Jerk is talking about believed we should have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I agree that it's bullshit that these knuckleheads with guns can do no wrong, yet it's all 'Teachers are failing to educate my eleven kids whose brains are composed of 50% McNuggets' on the other hand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross G Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 End of the day they have no right to complain. on the first day of the battle of the Somme in 1916, over 100,000 soldiers died. One dies nowadays and it's like the end of the world. And they were CONSCRIPTED. They had NO choice.They what they signed up for. If they don't like it - suck it.I'm not the biggest fan of my job, but then again I wasn't stupid enough to sign up to the army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He likes to wind people up and then boast about how easy it is to his peers in real life.Sadly, a lot of people pander to it and accept the bait. But people are getting better at it.

Jaaakkkeee Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 What? I made a fairly valid point. I said soldiers are brave. And if you go in to a war zone but you won't call yourself brave, then I'd say you're stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 A fair few guys I went to school with signed up for the forces. One of them was/is a really decent guy, think he's a marine or some kind of double-hard bastard now, but he was always hard as bastards. The rest are fuckwitted arseholes who signed up so they could murder and rape brown people.One guy in particular, during a drunken conversation in the pub, boasted about shooting civillains / surrendering enemies in the hands as they held them in the air. It could all just be macho pub-talk bullshit, but part of me believes him. The soldiers who helped out in Japan after the tsunami hit could be deemed heroic, but murdering other soldiers for money doesn't.I say we send footballers to war, or something. OOooh or better yet, let's pay soldiers hundereds of thousands of pounds a week to kill other soldiers. That wouldn't be detrimental to our economy and it certainly wouldn't encourage all the wrong types of scumbag to sign up. Yeah, that's what we should do. Pay the money which our athletes generate to soldiers. NICE AND FAIR.I fucking hate everyone.xx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 If you only suffered from AIDS once every full moon it wouldn't be as bad as it is. Of course, when you're in wolf form you might have no control and you might start a new AIDS epidemic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
