The Monarchy

[Deleted member 16999]

And yet you haven’t addressed the fact that anyone in a public sector job is obviously serving their country.

I never once considered my 36 years in the Army as a job, it most certainly wasn’t for the money and I still don’t consider knocking on a parents door (more than once) to destroy their lives by telling them their son has been killed as “just a part of the job” Which Public Sector “job” outside the Police has that in the job description.

Drillbit mate.

WTF does "Drillbit" mean?

 

[patricks148]

Why do the royals have so much property when so many of their subjects are homeless?
They think they are gods but just like us they are mammals. I think they should go.

i would tend to agree, time they went, no place in modern society for this any longer.

The French had the right idea

Didn't rid themselves of leeches on the public purse though... The aides of Macron now get to live the high life...

I don't understand the point of your question because it is absolutely NOTHING to do with the concept of serving a country.

I could consider my job to be a carrot. It would still be my job. As your time in the army was a job.

Why did you go into the army? To hurt people?

 

[Kellfire]

Yes, really divisive until someone goes on strike, there is a national emergency or even the threat of a bit of a disturbance after brexit- then it is all ‘call in the military ‘.
Do you ever think before replying or just type?

You think a lot of people think things like "call in the military" as a first response? Wow. You are truly blind to the populous.

Ok - whats “state sponsored murder” in regards the armed forces ?

Yes I don’t believe in the use of force as a punishment

I do believe in the use of minimum force to protect myself , my family , my friends etc etc as it was in the military

Why does anyone need to address it ? No one has disputed that fact ?

Your first question shows that you've taken the required conditioning for someone in the armed forces - a blasé view on injuring or killing others en masse without question.

Your last question - yes they did! Read Paul's input.

There's a particular type of mind set that someone needs to have to take up arms - I don't have it and don't want it around me or my loved ones.

Uniforms and Guns....... oh, and I was bullied at school so I turned to crime, the police got close so it was either the Costa Del Sol or hide in the Army and hone my killing skills.
I now live alone, living off the land unable to fit back in to society, drink and mushrooms (found on the golf course) are my only friends.

Conditioned? Sorry can you explain ?

And where did I have a blase view on killing someone- for me it’s always the last resort for firearms to be used

Your last question - yes they did! Read Paul's input.

But I bet you don’t mind one bit them protecting your condescending arse

Good job there are men and women then who are able to take up arms to protect you and your loved ones.

I’m damned sure they’re not thinking “call in the spineless, opinionated pencil pushers from the NHS”

I think chaps, someone has been rejected by Capita

 

[PhilTheFragger]

You're proud of an unelected, money leeching antique of German origin, the product of years of inbreeding and nepotism? Proud?

Have a word with yourself.

No it is his opinion, which you must respect even if you disagree with it.

May I suggest that you have a quiet word with yourself.

The Royal Family cost each taxpayer 69 pence last year.

Personally, I'm good with that.

That's one less 69 for me .

 

[jim8flog]

Sorry I meant 99.
