At any point our professional volunteer Armed Forces have the right to not carry out an order if it is deemed unlawful. We no longer have conscripts who have no choice other than to 'go over the top' or be shot by firing squad. It's a career, a job, a profession - sometimes dangerous, ugly, messy - but we CHOOSE to do it.Siph_Horridushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07159625883822754521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-86678785425553847382014-12-29T22:17:23.623+00:002014-12-29T22:17:23.623+00:00Hmmm, and who gave the orders to send our troops i...Hmmm, and who gave the orders to send our troops into hell?John Lambsheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598696442104566164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-64882769122878751722014-12-29T13:30:43.123+00:002014-12-29T13:30:43.123+00:00Soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen get medals t...Soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen get medals too. The days of blaming Whitehall faceless generals has passed John. Just politicians to blame these days, the armed forces as a whole are stretched cos of cut price politics.
