Both our servicemen and women deserve our repect. As will those training for future in forces.

Thanks Rose for this as some are so rude in replies. God bless our service people.

of course they should whatever our oppinion of the wars they are still someones son,daughter father brother mother.

Surely not that "Plonka" who thought they were on an "Ego Trip"? **M**.

Hello Merlin and Alkopahuntas.

just to let you both know, I deleted my previous thread on this subject not because of any differing opinions on it (which are of course everyone's right to state) but because it was taken completely 'off topic' by one person who had their own 'agenda' .I thought it best to delete and start again.

Many thanks
Rose xx.

Why did you have to delete Rose? Just off to sort dinner out. Thought all us would have same opinion x

Rose, I have already given my opinion on your previous thread,It has,nt changed and never will. **M**.

I agree Rose,

Our Military should be able to wear their uniforms with pride, and shame on those who behaved in such an abominable way.

Thank you to all who have added overnight.

All our servicemen and ladies deserve our admiration. They fight to keep us safe when not always safe themselves. Well done for putting up this thread x

I agree with you Rose, they all deserve our respect. I am proud of them for what they do. they have to go there despite whether they believe they should be there. And half the time they don't have the equipment they need for their own protection. So, yes we should be proud of them. well done lads and lasses.

well said rose didnt see thred before and as ex raf wife know whats what too. Nephew in army and been in thick of most trouble wherever. Was amongst 1st lot in Iraq .
Proud of all service people dispite the fact that I hate all wars .

Do your job lads n lasses n wear that uniform with pride.

So true, respect respect, they are our
protectors, pity they are on foreign land, they should be at home protecting home.
They are fighting a battle that cannot be won, the Afgans understand one thing,
"kill thy brother" they do not understand reason.

I agree with everyone, we should be proud of our forces and the sacrifices made for the Country both past and present

I am proud of our service men & women and am grateful to them all. They should wear their uniforms with pride.

Thanks to all who have added

Rose,

I echo your sentiments, I was so proud to wear my RN uniform in the 1970's and 80's and think that it is our duty to support our service personnel who aren't paid that well at all (certainly not at basic rank/rate level).

I did read that a serviceman in uniform in Peterborough where the wearing uniform in public hassle kicked off had been cheered in a shopping centre yesterday...so I guess its just a minority

Thanks for the thread by the way

My OH served 22yrs in the army and i as a wife served at his side as we were married before he joined and had the 3 children.

He served several tours of Ireland, Faulklands and Bosnia, we also lost a good few friends during these tours.

We have every right to be proud of our soldiers they join the army to serve Queen and country and thats exactly what they do.

My son is in the Australian Army and is about to go over to East Timor. I am bursting with pride for the job he will be doing over there.
