During all the flag waving jingoistic displays for returning servicemen during/after the "Falklands War" the maimed,disfigured and broken bodied servicemen were flown in by the back door so as not to upset the public by way of RAF Brize Norton.
A fund was set up to help these heroes called the "South Atlantic Fund" One company who heard about the red tape involved in getting adapted vehicles for some of the severly injured opened their cheque books and purchased vehicles for some of the disabled servicemen.
Once the South Atlantic Fund got the money to the people who needed it most those who had been given cars had their financial help reduced by the amount the vehicles cost even though the South Atlantic Fund hadn't paid for the vehicles!
If you want thanks dont join the forces because you are everyones heroe until the sh1t hits the fan and the MOD drops you quicker than a hot coal.
PIRA blew up,shot,maimed and tortured British servicemen "NO PROBLEM" Tony Blair says "we will have the "Good Friday" agreement and you will all be released".
What about "Bloody Sunday" cried the lunatic lefties "Paratroopers actually shot civilians" (whilst under fire themselves from people in civilian clothes). "NO PROBLEM" says Tony Blair and his cronies "We will conduct an enquiry and those responsible will be punished"
Thanks a lot Tony!... and yet.............young men and women still take the 'Kings Shilling' to fight for this country (and other countries as well) God bless em all!
As for Blair and his cronies well Blair as said "History and God will be his judge" I hope the God he sees happens to be "ALLAH" (PBUH) that would be worth a ringside seat!
