Perhaps you should read Post 121 again.

Nowhere does it state that members of the Armed Forces were forced to join.
For your education, a recruit is made fully aware of the salaries for each rank in his chosen trade and the charges for accommodation and food - yes those charges are deducted from their salaries.
The prospects, training and promotion possibilities are clearly explained and everything is in writing.
Also, the potential hazards he or she will face are pointed out, not just by the recruiters but by almost daily Press and TV news.

I doubt it was pointed out to them that they would have to drive though a warzone in a vehicle barely equipped for riot control.

Nigel Farage on Tv this morning said pay should reflect the degree of responsibilty that goes with the job, and since 75% of decisions have been handed to the EU parliament, then a 75% CUT in pay is appropriate.

No probably not G, but again the decision to equip these Lads with inadequate kit was the responsibility of the money grubbing Politicoes who'd cut the Military budget while still allowing themselves the good life at taxpayers expense!

Probably some wise adviser will suggest Range Rovers because they have more wine bottle storage.

As a gentleman I am sure you would help with an realigning as needed

At the end of the day cashy you've posted nearly 35,000 times and yet you've only been liked 858 times. That's not even 1 in 40 posts. If I took out Less's likes of your posts it'd be worse still. Even his lousy record is 1 in 16. On those metrics I'd retire from the forum altogether as you clearly have nothing of value to add.

I don't think you can be passed the torch as this weeks "dear leader"

Best to know all the facts before shooting yourself in the foot, me thinks

In fact Farage said one or two sensible things another being to cut the £55 million per day we pay into the Euro pot, there's a hell of a lot that could be done in this country with that money than waste it on Brussels
