pox I hope your laddie comes home safe and sound,however as a ex-soldier I know that he has been trained well and will relish the challange he is about to face.
soldiers as a rule do not get involved with the politics of going to war and hopefully his 6 months will come and go quickly and he will be buying you a pint ot two in your local after a successful tour,good luck. |

True but if you're going to kill another human being it's best to know why. Hope he returns safely. |
|
By:
surely one of the aims is too kill others before someone kills him?
Otherwise become a travel rep if you wanna 'meet friends and see the world' |

Wether we agree or disagree on the rights or wrongs of this war, I'm sure we all wish for the safe return of all the young men and women involved.

By:
the racoons, on the contrary he knew all the pitfalls and the situations we were in when joining and this is what he wanted to do, and hopefully as a proper father i didnt want to stand in his way i backed him in every move he has made since,but try telling that to his distraught mum and myself his brother and sister at this moment,its scant consolation i can tell you

All the best - can imagine you will be climbing the walls, I know I would be in the years to come if my lad were to sign up. My brother was a submariner and was away for 4 or 5 months during The Gulf War, and that seemed a bit too real at the time. Get your closest mates to take you to the pub - it's a must!
