Charlie calls in the troops for a Thankyou

[Razor61]

Watching BBC News tonight, Prince Charles has called in a Scottish regiment to Balmoral to personally say thank you for the service they did in Iraq and to give each one the Iraq medal.

The BBC News then went on to do an item on the lack of support to our troops from the general public and showed extracts from ARRSE on the matter.

This news coverage is just what is needed and more of it too from all the channels basically saying it is a disgrace that the general public have shown ignorance in welcoming the troops home. The usual former General was having his say too and quite right to say he wished for the troops coming home to be able to parade in the high street etc without feeling unwelcome.

good on you HRH.

The British public are now sickeningly mawkish, professional mourners willing to shed tears at the drop of a politician's arm. When I came back I couldn't believe the rubbish, conspiracy theories and bs made up by the media and spun into some semblance of reality by stooge reporters and so far up themselves Adam Boulton style w:mad:s

The great unwashed don't care about the forces any more because they can't think for themselves and rely totally on the media to tell them what to do. Flowers at every crash site in the country, teddy bears, football jerseys and stage managed cry-ins whenever the cameras roll...............:hmm:

The counselling industry has been set up to take advantage of this and when it comes to real sacrifice, it just isn't newsworthy any more.

Live with it guys and gals
