Life means Life - again

I spent 22 years in the Royal Air Force - not the Army but still in the military

I did two tours in the old Yugoslavia and one in Kosovo.

Is that simple enough for you

You can point out where I wasn't being honest or consistent or you can offer an apology for the accusations :thup:

Ah! that sums it up, you were a Crabfat! I can see now how you din't get it when I asked you whether you would shoot a Looter if your Officer instructed you to. Were you ever trained in responding to civil unrest?

What service I was makes no difference to what rules of engagement people follow

Every service follows the same rules of engagement - you don't shoot looters. The use of fire arms is used as a last resort and only when life is endangered.
 
Just in case fragger wasn't particularly clear this thread does seem to have descended into petty bickering and some fairly personal insults amongst a few members. Cut it out (all of you) or the thread will be locked and infractions dished out.

You have a been warned!

I was just about to post something but I will now hold back, however I will say that I think some individuals get far more leeway than others as their has been some very direct personal insults, rudeness and augmentative responses to some people open opinions.

I think I will use my 'ignore' function for the first time, or maybe twice :whistle:

Totally agree but I've grown use to the brickbats. Ignore the idiots and enjoy the company and thoughts of the 99% on here that are capable of making sensible and astute posts. The ignore button is your friend. Testament to my first sentence, I've bee on here for a good few years and only used it three times (including last night)

You have prob got me on ignore anyway but im goign to say it anyway

You didnt have me on ignore when you were challenging me on the thread last night and accusing me - when i showed you that i wasnt lying and your accusations were false you threw your teddies out of the cot. It isnt the first time over the past couple of days you have gone off on someone on the forum when they have pointed out your inconsistencies. I am in doubt that i will be the warned but last night the snide remarks were coming from you.
 
Hang on a minute. Could someone please explain why Liverpoolphil has been blackballed? As far as I can see, he was the one that was on the receiving end of some pretty snidey, petty remarks last night from people who think that the military consists solely of the Army. Silly arguments like this are one thing, but questioning someone's integrity is far worse than any stupid insult. Have I missed another thread where Phil was the aggressor?

Perhaps a quiet pm would suffice to a member of staff or moderator rather than start a public debate.

Was my first thought mate, but I thought that it may help people if they could see why an infraction was handed out. I've no dog in this fight as I've long since decided that these type of discussions are a bit pointless, but I couldn't see where the problem was..

Maybe it helped that I only read the thread at 3 this morning, rather than reading it as it happened..:D
