The UK military  is still necessary for guarding our nuclear deterrent.

 

 

So we've established that they either can't or won't defend the UK's borders.

Great.

 

Only need a couple of hundred 'to protect our nuclear 'deterrent' (you actually think someone's gonna steal them?) but

what about the rest of the 10s of thousands of expensive to run grifters in green?

 

Are they just there to kill brown people cos some American or other politician commands them to? - is that the whole point or WHAT???

 

WHAT *EXACTLY* ARE WE PAYING YOU FOR???

 

At least Thai Army do a coup whenever the politicians get out of hand.

 

UK army should grow a set or get a proper job imho.

You know this is accurate:

 

What’s more triggering?

A veteran hearing a loud bang?

 

Or us getting our tax bills that pay for all their fun adventures?

 

Definitely the tax bills.

 

I don’t even think loud bangs scare them, it’s a ploy to get free Oxy and reduced fees for boarding schools.

 

Anyway, are they just there to kill brown people cos some American or other politician commands them to? - is that the whole point or WHAT???

Still looking for a non existent reason to attack military families I see.

If a family live in military housing, when the one in the military ( could be either ) is deployed they lose the house they were living in, as they get another one on the new base. Are you suggesting that only one deploys and the other stays behind for years and years, and that they be provided with 2 different accommodations, one in each location? If they did that you'd be complaining that the military was wasting money on too much accommodation.

I worked it out, but are you really saying that parents should be split up for years and years? Good way to increase the divorce rate.

With the amount of ridiculous questions you keep asking it seems you are the most dim around here, that or just argumentative as you have nothing else going on in your life.

in the 1950's to mid  early70's most people smoked it  was  social norm that the period i was discussing as thats  the one that affected me

Can you give examples?  It's just you sound more like you're being unpleasant than actually making any kind of point (which suggests you do not have one to make).

So, if someone is working abroad for the British military, they would earn enough so that their spouse does not have to work, but their children's education will be paid for by the British public?  That's how you think it should be?

Why do they need to be in military housing?  Where are their wages going?

 

Are you suggesting that simply for being in the military, they should get everything for free?

Yes they are.

 

These guys are mercenary freeloaders.

 

Willing to stop dinghy people invading the UK on a daily basis? 

" I can't - its agAInst dA lAW"

 

Willing to participate in unethical middle eastern escapades that don't benefit the UK population in any way?

Zero hesitation

 

If they want to run around foreign countries they should take that into account and pay for the own kids schooling - with ZERO subsidies.

 

If they're willing, as an organisation, to take a stand against their the ongoing dinghy invasion then maybe.

However, defending the UK should be their number one priority - it's what taxpayyers expect AT MINIMUM

 

Unbelieveable thesde freeloaders can't get their heads around that.

Typical ME, ME, ME merchants - like politicians but without any brains

I'll answer the question:  Absolutely.

 

It's an invasion and needs to be stopped.

Illegals stabbing young girls, committing crime etc - currently all OK with 'servicemen'

 

Difficult problems often require difficult solutions.
