20+ years ago being in the army was a good thing to do in my eyes.
But sadly we live in different times now.
Travel the world and grow up being one of the lads was a great life style back then.
Over the least 10 years our lads have been in one war zone after the next.
Thats not something i want for either of my kids.
Probably me being an over protective parent?
But thats just how i feel about it.
Thats my sentiment twofold, the army has changed and is undersized, under equipped and abused by the government, but for me on a more personal note I dont believe Britain and its people are worthy of a decent patriotic army, the UK is a nation where chavism, scuttiness, greed, nepotism and corruption are the norm, I would not want my children fighting for for slum of a country either.
