Bateman.......forever the contravertial (spelling????)

This is my little soldier with his wife and sons just back from Afghanistan. So, yes, I completely endorese the 'Help for Heros'.

Not for nowt's sake, lol.  Just a well rehearsed debate about what constitutes a hero these days.  Been in too many and been battered with the notion that anyone who serves in the nation's armed forces is by definition heroic.  I disagree.  :/

my son has been in iraq  once and afghanistan  3 times  ,,,,,, know matter what anyone  thinks  in my eyes  he is a hero ........   always will be  

who would step up .........  would you ?

U is entitled to ur balanced opinion Bateman but MY SON IS A HEROE imo

Change that to (im)balanced and there's nothing I can rationally disagree with there. 

in front of a gun .......... you would faint lol

Yay..... someone who thinks like me

Well quite. My son's been shot at, had to de whatever IEDs, the vehicles he drives are forever been blown off the road, so yes, unless you want to step up to the plate, shush and go about your mundane daily business.

Addressed to me? 

think about it ................ its no joke  ........  its  heart wrenching stuff

yes  .............. it is

so has my son ............. i never knew this was a bliddy competition ........ jeezo

Well, you're wrong then......"lol", as you would say.

I've had a gun stuck in my face.  I've had knives pulled on me...  etc etc.  I did not faint.  Just to correct you.

madamski.......i understand100% xxxx

Sorry, I didn't realise we were competing, I was just endorsing what you said.

Bateman

feel the force

i am not arguing  just glad he is alive   ...........  i now know i need to get out of here  i must be over sensitive

Never mind.

awwwwwww i'm not  , gnite  all

Just felt I should correct you that not being in Her Majesty's forces does not mean you would faint in the face of what these people have to face on a daily basis.

As you say - it's not a competition. 

I have 1 child!!!! I dont want him to die!

  lainy

oooooooooooooer ..............   dont fall oot wi me plz   a need uz

Thing is though, you go to the office or whatever job you have to in the morning, these people (including our sons) get up to a day where they might not see the end of it and, whilst I agree that they have made that choice themselves, in my son's case (as many other's), he never thought he would see a war. He wanted to, but never thought he would, now he doesn't want to anymore, but knows he will again.

You behave, lol.  Why would I fall out with you...  

He joined the "armed forces" but never thought he'd see a war?  Did he not read the prospectus?  :/ 

And yet he "wanted" to see a war?


This all seems very odd.  Was it any war he fancied seeing or just armed conflict in general?  Until he changed his mind.

Yo Madamski. Enjoy the interim.

i lubbz u  

madamski, Bateman

Madamski...Iainy....

MADAMSKI sleep well

If you din't want to behave like a normal human being, go and cvivvel.

If that's normality, I'll "cvivvel" away happily, love.  Bonne chance!
