Why is it that the Canadians are sent in first when the commonwealth goes to war? |
And Australians...
As for all this militarism and nationalism, why is it here!?
I don't think Polish women like military men either....

When I joined it was 3/6/9 years and you got about
20-30 quid more, the higher the amount of years you
signed on.
Nowadays you sign for 22 years but you can PVR after
3 years. This is 3 years after your final training and not
3 years from your first day in training so you end up
doing about 4 years minimum. Don't know about the RAF
but the terms of engagment will be similar. |

I thought I would give out advice I'm qualified
to give... nothing sinister.
Count yourself lucky that you have the education and
life choices where the army is not a career option. Lucky
you eh ?  |

Not if your good enough to be a RAF pilot.
There pay wage around 80 000 pounds a year. That could send a TEFLER in Poland into early retirement lol in 1 year.
Id be a RAF pilot over TEFL anyday.
Back to reality, military is second choice to me if I fail degree but I wont so im good. |

Again... you are lucky to have that choice. Because you have
choices in your life you are in no position to judge what and
how you act until those choices disappear.
Contrary to popular belief, most soldiers don't join
up because they love guns and want to kill black
people.  |

I never caste aspersions on why soldiers join the military. I just stated my dislike of the whole war machine... in very loose terms. So I wasn't attacking you or yours. Misunderstanding methinks.  |

Many of those 'twats' and 'scum' have a command of English that would put yours to shame.
ps it's "people who are" not "people whom are" as "people" is/are the subject of the phrase, not the accusative object. |
