Our woke ideologues (alas, with a majority in Parliament) now sit here, in smug security after 75 years of peace (painfully won for them by men facing death every day), opining about how soldiers in wars ought to be, to act and to behave. They have no inkling of understanding what real wars are like – they have never been faced with a real threat of being invaded and conquered by a militarily powerful, alien country. Just how would these young simpletons have reacted to the challenge presented to Europe’s innocent, peace-loving countries from evil Nazism? And later from powerful communism?<br /><br />Assume they would just wag their fingers, saying “naughty-naughty”.Andy Espersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391974844284751975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442430064359197279.post-47423793396315390732021-08-15T08:59:31.200+12:002021-08-15T08:59:31.200+12:00In my working life I was privileged to be able to ...In my working life I was privileged to be able to work alongside and observe at first hand personnel from the Army and Air Force including on operations. It goes without saying that both were very well trained and professional. Their cultures however seemed quite different. The Army was intensely tribal and hierarchical and outsiders were regarded with at best bemusement and often suspicion. The Air Force on the other hand seemed more laid back, collegial and accepting of civilian interlopers. I put it down to the different levels of education required to perform their roles. At the end of the day however respect for the chain of command and the self-discipline to withstand the pressure of potentially dangerous situations are vital to both.Odysseushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745489060434244478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442430064359197279.post-27519245938242838012021-08-14T16:49:08.957+12:002021-08-14T16:49:08.957+12:00Karl

In the article linked below, there are two army recruiting adverts. One from the USA that features a young woman raised by two lesbian mums, who succeeds at school and then goes on to find her inner destiny by joining the military. The second Chinese advert focuses upon the cost associated with being in the Military, leaving family behind, the toughness of training, pride in your country and your military's might.<br /><br />https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/us-army-recruiting-ad-soft-lesbian-moms/<br /><br />Once these advertisements have had their full effect, and recruited their targeted young people, which nation would you pick to win in battle? The one whose soldiers joined to find their inner destiny, or the one who joined for love of country and defence of family?<br /><br />We are witnessing the death of the west. Once we could rely upon America to maintain the defence of the free world. Not any more.<br />Brendan McNeillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02741263914308842497noreply@blogger.com
