Time for AU and AG

[bigpaul]

again, we have this great assumption that somehow we will have a functioning army to rely on! all very well, if its a small blip..maybe things a bit worse maybe for 2 or 3 months then its back to "business as usual"..no arguement there. but what is this is "the big one" everything goes t1ts up and NOTHING is ever the same again, the government either is non existent or has no control over anything outside London, everywhere else its every man, woman and child for themselves. no money is being printed, gold and silver are worthless, do you really think the ordinary squaddie is going to turn up for work as usual, no they will be at home looking after OH's and kids, if there is a big die off...some kind of pandemic....soldiers are not immune from the effects of something like that and their numbers would be as reduced as the civilian population is,and in that case they will be in the same mess as the general population.
