Soldiers have won us some of our freedoms, trades unionists and politicians others
I beg to differ,
It seems to me that politicians, trades unionists and the media decide what the freedoms are, and the military and workers go out and deliver them either actively or by deterrence.
ergo - no military, no freedom.
- and when it all goes pear shaped, the politicians wash their collective hands and hurry up to the other place, the media pontificates, the trade unionists evaporate and the squaddies either perish or go inside.
Rough justice.
