Possibly like the US Armed Forces, but when have we been revered recently?
The US Forces have a far better understanding, support, goodwill of their communities than we in the UK have, I have seen our standing in the community fall, with all this PC rubbish. If we stand up in the community we are at liberty of being pilloried, due to the use of the Forces as a political tool.
Not having a go at our Lords and Masters there, as we are the ultimate Political Tool. But we have to be used sparingly, especially in todays climate of overstreach.
