How about a survey in another thread? The problem is choosing a list of names folk must vote on...all the names on here would make for a heck of a long list. Perhaps everyone could put forward just two or three favourites? Then we could start a new thread and vote on it??

how do most of you now feel about the military?

by sowhatnow in

was not sure where to post this, but i was curious, how do some of you now feel about the military?

would any of you let your children enlist, or would you yourselves join any military field?

how do you feel about the idea of women in the military?

Tying in with what Blondie posted...is anyone familiar with the great war poets/ writers? Siegfried Sassoon " memoirs of a fox hunting man" is a favourite of mine..and Robert Graves, Edmund B!under, Wilfred Owen , of course and Rupert Brooke's. Soldiers all..Sassoon won the Victoria cross, but was nutted off as he, as did they all, became a pacifist and they didn't want a war hero court marshalled ..as a conscientious objector. Seems to me the closer a generation is to war....the more they are against fighting as a solution to anything. The French were called appeasers and collaborators in WW2 - but because of the horrors they saw in Verdun etc in ww1 they were wiling to do anything to prevent their kids from fighting the Nazis - they where wrong, sometimes peace is not an option.

because they wouldn't even have the priviledge of voicing that criticism if we were taken over by countries like North Korea.

Ha ha!! Can't believe I'm copy and pasting ol' Nathan...but I'm right behind you on this one!

I was a truly indoctrinated sheeple who believed she was a pacifist...and HATED it, I was SO CONFLICTED around the military. I come from a long line of military servers..great grandad WW one( still have his call up papers) , great great uncle died at Pascendale , grandad was at Arnhem in WW 2 and all my great uncles were pilots in the Battle of Britain, one flew the famous Lancaster bomber. My dad was in the Fleet air arm until my mom made him leave when they married.I longed to join up..I worked at Wool which military hospital as a nurse and had the time of my life. My friends at the time were sent to Bosnia and I so wanted to go, the NGO ' s however where more at risk then ( as now, often) so guess who signed up for a course?? I wanted to join Medicicine sans frontier or Sur le monde, I used to fly so thought maybe as a helicopter medic. However, I fell pregnant and had two motherless step kids who needed me..I'm with so what now about kids ONLY if u are at risk and their is noons else to care for your kids. There are many ways to serve relatively risk free, I don't think it should be any different for men or women. Kids need their dads too you know, boys often more, so what's the difference?? Maybe PARENTS shouldn't be in the front line, when there is the option, of course.

However I have seen the old boys from WW1 with shell shock, horrible see them keep tapping their watches. And messed up homeless, alcoholic soldiers who served in the Falklands..bloody awful..they saw men throw grenades at 14 year old Argentinian kids, the BBC didn't the!l the truth on that shit ( obviously we have no Vietnam vets here) but I have uncles who were in Japanese prisoner of war camps and had his arm chopped off by sadists. A kiwi relative cleared up in Japan after the bomb...was a prisoner of war in Japan and made to clean up..his kids all died young of cancer.

Yes, its no picnic. But I also know of incredibly brave conscientious objectors ( harder to stand up to your friends than your enemies and all that) who were ambulance guys in WW 1- high death rate , these dudes where the genuine article.

What happened to my Keith...

by The Rebel in

jw
friends

having a free day today, i thought i would listen to some of my favourite music on you-tube.

it has just occurred to me why i wasn't enjoying the music i am listening to as much as i hoped.

i am listening to concerts of the band with origional members of the group having been replaced.. that's why as i post i am putting on " the who", but the origional stuff with " keith moon's" brilliant and explosive drumming.

Diogenesister

Well..maybe when Peter Gabriel left Genasis..and Phil Collins took over singing, although maybe doesn't count cos he was an original member.

Adam Ant wasn't an original member of the Ants!!!!

I have been listening to Pink Floyd's stuff WITH Syd Barratt a lot recently...amazing..so sad

Love Keith Moon..that vid where he falls over his drums he is SO TANKED but he STILL plays like a boss!!!

Aussie jw girl very sick in US funded by wordly people carity

this article is sad.

but what amazes me is her jw family is accepting donations or has to resort to the very worldly people they look forward to being destroyed.

Diogenesister

Actually..It might be a good example to show the UK charity commission

Steve2 They are mortgaged up to the hilt...they paid for the treatment themselves. After the initial treatment failed I am sure themedics came up with a myriad of other reasons she needed to stay but the real costs come in flying her back with all the equipment/ medics etc - I guessed they where praying if all went well she would be coming home on a regular flight...
