British soldiers question!?

Question

what does the general public think of british soldiers??

Answer 1

I have a great respect for them, I have Friend's that are on operation's right now. I can't wait to finish my Training and get out doing my job. The thing I hate though is the accusation's of us Murdering and Raping Civvy's. It doesn't happen like that and I think it's frankly f*cking disrespectful we put our life's on the line for your freedom and safety and you talk sh*t? It's great though that it's only a few and the majority is very thankful of what they (and I hopefully) do.

Answer 2

Best in the world!

Answer 3

Bada$$

In a good way , of course...

Answer 4

they are the best

but i think one shot sums it up right  ,i have 4 sons all served 2 still serving, the bikers in the motorcycle club have great respect for our service personel thay gave to a man for the army benevolent fund, & the bikers we know donated sweets & biscuits for our lads in iraq/ afgan they were sending  4-5 parcels a week for my sons to dish out for the full tour.

so  a lot of people do care but the drones dont

Answer 5

I'm American, and I don't see a lot of what the British army does.  From what I've seen, though, it looks like they've done a pretty good job in Afghanistan against a tough enemy.

Answer 6

In general the British public don't give a rats @rse about HM Forces personnel. The war on terror is a few thousand miles away, the seriously wounded are kept out of public view, the dead get a 10 second airing on national TV and are buried with the minimum of fuss and publicity. As long as the war stays far away and does not interfere in their mundane lives people don't give a S**t.

Nothing is done to honour these men & women when they pay the ultimate price in protecting the freedom that the people of this country enjoy. Local Authorities would rather hold a civic reception for a medal winner at the Olympics and name a building after them than recognise the sacrifice our Forces make.

The people and authorities in this country don't even have the decency to pay their respects to the dead!!

At my time of life, having spent 15 years in HM Forces and with a son serving now I view most people in this country with the contempt they so richly deserve - I wouldn't p!ss on them if they were on fire.

Answer 7

personally, I would much rather see Drunken Soldiers in the news than ones mistreating animals on any day of the week.

so I love them - they are our friends :)

Answer 8

THEY ARE THE BEST  

Answer 9

we are very proud of them and the work they do, it is such a disgrace though that they are treated like s**t by the uk government while illegal immigrants and foreign criminals are welcomed, there is a saying in the UK that our government always lets us down while our forces never will

Answer 10

I personally am very proud of them, they put their lives on the line.

Answer 11

not much

Answer 12

While it might not be the biggest army in the world.

We are by far the best trained, regardless of what the americans may post, as this is a US site, visited by mainly americans.

We have a very apt fighting force which can more than hold their own against any opponent. It comes from being an island nation.

We possess the two of the best special services, SAS and SBS respectively.

I am a big fan of the British Armed Forces!

Answer 13

Heroes and Heroines, every single one of them.

Keep up the good work Lads and Lasses.
