Blackbriar 8,569 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 It's to make the armed forces more diverse and inclusive...........(I actually felt nauseous saying that !). Actually, should we still say 'armed forces' ? Sounds a bit hostile, doesn't it ? Probably an implication of violence in it, too ! I mean, ideas that that might put some people off applying, if they thought that they might get shouted at or ordered around - wouldn't want to cause offence, after all. Maybe we could just enlist more ethnics, women and other minorities, irrespective of their suitability ? As long as they can make their own placards, that should be enough. They wouldn't have to self -identify as a 'soldier' immediately either.........oh dear ! You can apply at Britisharmy.co.uk/you'll do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I pull her and debate it. The onus is that she has to make her mind up, by having all the info. Get them questioning everything mate, that's how they/we learn/learned They are pumped full of way too much propaganda these days, it's on us to teach them to look elsewhere for a full picture and not let them be slaves. 8 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 The people who the Army are trying to "include" are the last people on earth who would actually join, thankfully. They'd rather save the world by being f***ing offended by everything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm trying to imagine a Marine sergeant's response, at being asked to quietly hold a perimeter, while Trooper Akbar kneels down and starts wailing at the top of his voice ! 1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lanesra 3,994 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Absolute disgrace , and the younger generation have been politically correct brain washed , these people are being handled with kid gloves in everything they do , they burn the national flag , poppies and our fined , all over social media sending death threats to men & there families and nothing is done , bringing dangerous Imans into mosques to speak with the danger of radicalising some , the list is endless what there getting away with yet we even dream of saying the wrong thing our feet won't touch the ground , 1 example Piers Morgan absolutely Slaughtered Tommy Robinson for condemning the Koran , fast forward 3mths and an ex Muslim woman does the same and no response whatsoever . . A German women who worked welcoming / helping immigrants into Germany today is stating its all gone wrong and is moving to Poland as there destroying the German culture / way of life !! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meece 1,957 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 My father was out in Burma up the jungle and was a bit of a squad basher. We resisted his views vigorously and at times verbaly violently. I sometimes wonder how modern armies with all of the armaments fail to subdue a few lowly mat kneeling foreigners. E.g. the taliban in Afghanistan. How many of our brave boys gave their all for, what?' And it lòoks like we will have to go back or write it all off. When I was on holiday in Sharm el sheik I went down to the indoor gym about lunchtime and was confronted by a young bloke in his 20s down on the mat praying to Allah. Where do you see that comitment here? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
