Every time a fighter takes a beating and is outclassed they are brave and heroic

Heroes Defending out freedoms? Am pretty sure they take themselves down to a forces career office and chose to sign up whilst also being paid also.

 

Insert old and tired cliche here ....

I agree the historical conflicts the guys deserve immense credit and appreciate there sacrifices fully. The modern day ones where we invade countries in order to **** them of there resources then we cry the ones hard done are a different story am afraid.

 

I thought people were saying Buglioni showed heart and courage, which he did, I never saw the word "hero" typed anywhere, but Buglioni did show heart and courage how you can deny that fact is beyond me.

As for the quote of yours I posted, what can I say, I'd say most of your posts reflect somebody who is completely brainwashed but I didn't think it was this bad.

"Defending our freedoms" that comment frightens me, people like you are the real danger to people's personal freedoms.

Personally I don't see young men and women droning, bombing and shooting women and children in the Middle East as "heroes".

But let's define hero, the definition I found was this

a person, typically a man, who is admired for their courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.

That could be applied to all sorts of people for a variety of reasons.
If you have a problem with Buglioni getting praise for a brave effort then fine but don't come on here with this rubbish about the armed forces.

 

Name me one country we have recently "freed" or "liberated" that is in a better state than before we entered it.

Just one

Just one

Just the one

You need to get your head out of your ar**hole my friend.

 

I think N17 is making a powerful argument. Sort of like puppy training, doubleEdge has pi$$ed himself and N17 is rubbing his beak in it. Nice.

 

Well the Royal Family have very strong German ancestry so I would have thought somebody as patriotic as your good self would be encouraging that sort of behaviour.

They rebranded the Royal family during WWI, They changed their surname from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor.

I can sort of understand the "speaking German" comment but why would we be speaking Arabic?

 

I am rolling up a newspaper and I'm going to smack his on the snout if he does it again

 

I believe vast majority join the army etc as a means of earning a living

The fact that many go on to become heroes as well I don't deny but I don't think the main reason for joining army is because they want to serve the country any more

It's just a job

And that's no disrespect to any of them intended at all

As within the services there are many true heroes as well

 

I'm guessing because the 10s of thousands who are unemployed don't get labelled as heros - like those boxers do

 

I thought it was only Americans that were stupid enough to believe we are out there bulldozing countries for our '' freedom '' atsch

Double you even have the audacity to claim we would be speaking Arabic if our boys didnt fight them? atsch

How are they going to invade us? On banana boats?

All my family joined the Army because it was the only show in town, whether that be lack of available work or mucked about in school. Not one has joined to do their duty.

And not one of my 3 brothers who serve believe any of this fighting for '' freedom '' nonsense.

One of them has just come back from 6 months in Iraq training their soldiers and he knows it was 6 months of his life wasted.
