Millet 4,497 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 You can all sit on here and pass judgment and say this shouldn't happen that shouldn't happen you should do this do that blah blah blah ..... The only people that can pass judgement on topics like this are those of us that have been in these hell holes fighting for your life every second of every day when your out there where crossing a compound with your head a little to high will get you killed and every step you take could literally be your last and it has for to many lads ... And that's just normal soldiering you go into a whole different realm when you are carrying out other tasks not talked about by the media rightly or wrongly men women and children will all gladly end your life out there and parade your body through the streets before hanging it high and burning it .... Anybody can sit behind a computer screen and decide what's ethical and what's not ... It's a different story when your there and every body around you wants to make your kids fatherless ............ i agree 100% its a place that turns boys into men and until you have been there under fire and seen you mates wounded and so on its horrible to say but you go numb I've been under fire whem poaching and that is bad enough..fook me you lad's have ball's like a elephant..

gamerooster 1,179 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I agree socks if you have been there, you probally will have a different view. I can still debate have a moral opinion on something though. No offense but I've had mates who were squaddies my own brother Aswell, and listening to them talk ( well let's just say they weren't the sharpest knife in the drawer) so forgive me if I don't take everything a serving or ex soldier says as gospel. i think there is plenty that aint the sharpest tool about mate probably me included You have to have something wrong with you to join the armed forces!!! even more so if you wanna be a para I should fit right in then, the training is going well mate, my running time's are improving, slowly but surely Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't but 100% agree with you there..i may be wrong i may be right..but if i was in a situation where i was going to be killed by savages and i was armed..i would empty my magazine's into every last one of them regardless of age or gender.. That reminds me of a famous quote by soldier X of the SAS when he was questioned about the so called (death on the rock) investigation when the SAS intervened in the planned bombing of British troops on Gibraltar .... Soldier X was asked by the judge why he had shot ~~~~~~~~~ 9 times .... His reply .... Because that's all the rounds I had left in my magazine ... ......... 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Traditionally yes paras and guardsmen but that was in the past it is pretty even across the board as far as infantry is concerned now ... And there are more and more REME and engineers etc passing selection these days .... But it has been said that selection is not as tough as it used to be ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
