Roy, that's a pretty damming and sorry indictment of our present day soldiers. I'm not doubting your observations for a minute, I've heard similar remarks from other sources too. I gues it says a lot about our society as a whole really. The increasing "I'm all right Jack, Fcuk you!" attitude from all levels of political as well as spiritual leadership in this country combined with the ever incroaching 'Big Brother' and 'Nanny State' policies so beloved of this septic, self gratifying, government seems to be the culmination of the slippery road that we started on in the seventies. I said then, that the writing was on the wall for this country. The gradual bluring of the definition of right and wrong, the acceptance of homosexuality as the 'norm' and the emergence of the apologists who make us ashamed of being what we are, are responsible for the emasculation of this once great nation. The loss of National Pride and Identity the Pro-Euro lobby have allowed Brussels to so weakened us with, has led to our loss of our sense of position in the world order but, the greatest sickness this country is suffering from, is Apathy. Sorry! Rant over. Just got carried away there for a minute. I guess what I am trying to say is that I am so sad to see the slow disintigration of a great Institution such as the British Army, to which I was SO PROUD to have belonged.
