You clearly wanted to create an argument or you would have simply not bothered putting the above comment. All you are doing is attention seeking, i pity you Terry.

Just a few small points,
Soldier's are volunteer's, VOLUNTEER'S!
Without these BRAVE, HONOURABLE, COURAGEOUS, VOLUNTEER'S there would be a thing called NATIONAL SERVICE!!

I guess you know what national service means so i suppose they are doing you a HUGE favour, HUGE!! Whilst you sit at home watching TV in the comfort of your own home or supporting your team, remember you are sat there because of the freedom supplied by these VOLUNTEER'S.

I wonder what you'd be like on the front line, Digg'in, taking rounds, watching your best mates get blown up, picking limbs up from blown up bodies, been responsible for countless death's, getting shot, missing your kid's been born, missing you kids first step's/first words...... I guess you couldnt even imagine those things happenning to your life.......

They dont happen to you because of these VOLUNTEER'S!

They deserve respect...... Regardless of if you think this war is correct or not. I recently spent 5 years in the Army and think the War on Terror in Iraq + Afghan is a load of b*lls...... But i show respect where its due......

To volunteer:
To do charitable or helpful work without pay.

I'm pretty sure you get paid to be in the army. They have chosen it as a vocation, for whatever reason. It was entirely their choice though.

Homer Simpson ""Volunteering is for suckers. Do you know that so-called volunteers don't even get paid?"

For a start off, It wasn't typed to cause an arument, it was typed in response to the OP that wrote well done for all for clapping. It wasn't me that got all hot under the collar and started questioning why I didn't clap, and telling me that I should clap.

I couldn't care less if they are volunteers or not, as for the freedom line, dont make me laugh, they are doing nothing that makes me free. I'm a free man as I am not bound to anybody for service or slavery, Soldiers voluteering has nothing to do with this.

Get over your self praise and sentiment, because I don't care for it. There's plenty of people willing to offer it to you.

Well done the Bulls for recognising our brave lads and lasses in the forces.


My own club Halifax admit all of the armed forces personnel in for FREE on production of thier service card in recognition of thier service to the country.

Why bring Mystic Eddie into this?
