Military Charities

[Fish]

Its possible to complete 38 years service in the RAF good grief

Why good grief, I wouldn't know that, I didn't mix, or wasn't allowed to mix with the educated crowd

A mate of mine was in the Paras and got seriously injured in a firefight in the first Gulf war conflict, he had no help from charities and just got on with it living with his condition which affects him to this day, is that right in you guys opinion? Should the military charities have left him? You claim they are all this and that but how many soldiers pre 2001 have just had to get on with it and have done so, his a tough guy and got through it himself and has no regrets of what happened to him, part and parcel of the job he says, oh and his wife didnt have to sing in a choir...

From your OP.

...My problem is this, these people have a good life in the military but when things go wrong they expect help when it was their choice to take an occupation with the obvious risks...As ive said you take the risk you get on with it and should you expect the publics help?,ok somebodys got to defend the country but its part and parcel of that job that there could be dire consequences and thats the risk you take signing up, their soldiers they go into battle thats the profession and the chosen risk they have taken in life.I personally would prefer to see peoples charity donations go to the homeless,children who need it or the rspca, ...

You appear to be contradicting yourself!

I really think the mods should be considering closing this thread - more than enough has been said and nothing is going to change the OP's opinion.

You damn right its my opinion and I'm sticking to it and you can do what you want with the thread as its going round in circles and I'm not responding anymore.

I suspect it's more linear, but then I'm sure you think that things revolve around you.
