Following on from what Dave Parker has said. I have only admiration for those serving in todays modern Army!...Their professionalism and tolerance of todays System I can only applaud.The impossible situation concerning Accountibility and Political Correctness,Sexual Discrimination and various other contentious issues make me wonder whether they have to be soldiers or barrack-room lawyers to survive the rigours of modern day soldiering! In our day life was far simpler....the issues were far less complicated than they are today! We relied more on instinct then on Technology. People said what they mean't and not what the System would have you say!....NCO's could shout and bawl to their hearts content without causing offence,certainly not having complaints lodged against them for intimidation and bullying!...The culture now-a-days of taking things to the extremes does not inspire me at all! I feel regret and sorrow for our modern day soldiers simply because which ever way they turn their hands are tied by Bureaucracy!.....What say you?
