The armed forces and the lack of respect people seem to show about them

Seriously, WTF is this seeming need to hurl abuse at ANYONE wearing uniform?
Walking home from cadets tonight, OBVIOUS that I was a cadet since I had my unit name written on the rank slide and I don't look old enough to have a stripe (Lance Corporal) in the regs or the TA, I had the insult "army twat" hurled at me by a charv in a car. That being after a charv walking up to me on the metro and shouting at me to "fuckin' well move" from the seat I was in, seriously WTF is with these animals? Yeah, charvs have descended to being subhuman in my eyes now.

Chavs are the southern version of charvs (they're the same, just a different name due to accent).

I saw a whole bunch of them get written warnings from a lone (Very small and timid looking) female community support officer only an hour or two ago. There were about 20 or more of them, and she walked in to the middle of them, took all their alcohol away and gave them all written warnings one by one.

Made my year that did!!

If I was her I'd have smashed all the alcohol on the floor, that way when they tried to lick it up off the floor they'd cut themselves (let's face it, the charvs are stupid enough to do just that).

I thought my officer was crazy when he was telling me that if some people figure out my profession they will become violent and unpredictable and they are impossible to see who they are because they are regular people. Makes me think why do these people get so angry at us who are/will be fighting on their behalf.

People from Iraq Afghanistan I can understand being kinda pissed off, we did make their countries significantly more dangerous but they're a hell of a lot safer now.
The rest of them (aka charvs and whoever else) have no obvious reason to hurl abuse at the armed forces other than going against the establishment (my dad can be included in this even though he's a loyal little pet for labour).
Another point, what do people think about the kicking labour recieved on thursday?

Complete twats doesn't describe them well enough...

i dont disrespect the army i disrespect the way in which they went about Iraq and Afghanistan and as for chavs god why cant they just leave you alone? you get 2 types up here the edgy type who get in your face when they are with mates and the type that tend to just let you jog on and dont say anything but are still pretty much arseholes

i dont like conservative toff bastards, okay we needed privatisation in the UK but apart from that and leadership during world war 2 what they fuck have they done

its not like there is a good third party sure liberal is okay but seriously do they know how to run britian?

bnp are neo nazi facists sure we are far to welcoming to random people in the UK and there are a lot of scroungers but damn they are just out to hate on everyone they dont actually stand for anything else. they have no real brains they couldnt run a council or a government

i hate racists i have a few mates who are of ethnic minority and i dont give a fuck, seroiusly you cant help where you are born or what you are born like.

Its all climate anyway, Africans are black so that they can have a natural skin protection and they need a lot of vitamin D from the sun, skin captures vitamin from sunlight! we are up in Europe where the sunlight is weaker and less so that is why we are all fair skinned, then inventions such as the train and air travel allow different people to go to different places.

Just a bit of random fact i wanted to put out.

The army went about Iraq and Afghanistan the correct way, the GOVERNMENT went about it the wrong way...
Labour and the main parties are gonna have some fun and games dealing with the BNP, they're just going to use it as a massive morale boost and rallying point.

The Army didnt go about anything their way in Iraq or Afghanistan, they simply put together a plan that enables them to achieve the Governments objectives, it's the objectives that set the method of the campaign, the plan meerly sees it through if you get my drift.

The Afghanistan campaign actually has made a generally positive impact apart from one major shortcoming...... I was in the first UK Battlegroup that went into Kabul in January 2002, the problem was we didnt go in with enough force initially so the taliban either ran over the pakistani border or down to the South (Helmund province where we are fighting now) simply because they get support from both Pakistan (East) and Iran (South). In January 2002 all UK, US and German Forces were either in Kabul (Roughly middle), or the North, had we had cut off the Talibans escape routes to the east and South we wouldnt have half the problems we and the Afghans are seeing now.

people are to lazy to give a fuck so when the BNP says that so and so is stealing jobs and are invading your british culture they are ignorant and think that the BNP have a valid point which they dont actually

if you actually give a fuck most of the time you will think that the BNP is a load of tosh

im not a lover of armed forces they should be for defending your country not attacking other nations

oh hindsight such a beatify thing, at least take on board your mistakes and learn from them instead of dwelling on the past


politicians are all the same, its like a certain type of person who wants to become a politician

well we went into support the US?? which i wonder why?? well its because we are part of US defensive forces.
The UK armed forces didn't even needed get involve in the civil war against afaganistan and the US but we did because UK is part of the defensive network with US ever since world war 2?
I could be wrong so don't have ago at me.

somebody said something about a defence agreement with america before but its just to do with NATO

afghanistan and iraq are in the past i dont we just need to clean up faster than we have been so that less lifes are killed and we can pull home
america wanted a foothold in the middle east that is obvious for us we will pull home but US bases will remain

okay enuf of the intelectual discussion

okay one thing ever notice how crap tv is these days, predator has been repeated for weeks on sky and ch5

not even sky movies just sky 1, 2 and 3
i might move to virgin they are doing a deal thats phone and broadband and tv with over 60 channels for £19.99 then you pay £9.99 line rental the phone is free evening and weekend calls and the broadband is 10mbps oh and i can get a special box from a special friend if you catch me

I could be wrong so don't have ago at me.

Actually you could argue the opposite, the UK has had a significant relationship and presence in Afghanostan (on and off) for 120 years, the US not at all before 2001 except to support the country during the Russian invasion so arguably they came to help us!
