What's playing football and being in the military got to do with each other.
Why the f**k would a guy who's been getting shot at care if an over paid ponce doesn't want to represent England in a game. Does he think there on the same level of importance or something.
Should we all ring a soldier and explain why we can't be bothered to do something?
What a idiot.

Syria et, They are breeding terrorism and using our armed forces to do it
but Governments decisions have nothing to do with the people who are in the armed forces..?

1. Its their own choice
2. They're fighting causes I don't believe in
3. Anyone who thinks the military should be for intervention as opposed to defence and is happy with what we have done is as much of a knob as Tony Blair

The OP wants to be thankful enough people do sign up, otherwise there would be conscription or at least a period of compulsary military service.
The soldiers dont have a say on why they fight, they just follow orders......orders which can result in their death.

these brave men are willing to die in the line of duty for us to keep our freedoms.
NOW... The "war on terror" is farcical. We shouldn't be in Iraq, or Afghanistan under the false pretences we are given in the media - I totally agree. We have no proof of WMD's, we have no home threat's (or threat of invasion) I actually don't know what we are still doing there.... But I digress...
The individuals are following orders from above. orders that you DO NOT turn down. You can face serious consequences for it. They are doing exactly as they are told, and the blame should lie with the men upstairs - not the troops.
Just wow...

I just don't understand why anyone would sign up knowing they'll end up in iraq or afghanistan since we've been there, guess it's different for people who have been serving a longer time

Some people don't have the educational opportunities or correct upbringing to be able to do anything else,
Other people, like you've stated, were already serving when this all kicked off...
I have a good friend in the army, he's based in Germany now, but has completed a tour of Afghanistan. And although I dont agree with his reasons for being there, I totally respect his line of work, and what he would be willing to do for us if (god forbid) we were ever under invasion.

They dont decide where they fight or who they fight.
You should be thankful for them volunteering as without them doing that we would be forced into it.

There's a difference between signing up to fight fascism in Europe and signing up to fight in iraq, afgan etc

Green is wasted vote. We need to shake up the other three.
Also nice of you to ignore the rest of the post.

Why should we show them more respect than say a plumber? Both choose their occupation knowing what it involves or could involve depending on the job required.
As said I have a lot of respect for those who defended us. I don't for those now serving the political elite and their wider interests.
