I am in absolute amazement that Channel 4's Big Brother house is more news worthy than our Armed Forces over seas.
Absolutely no idea of what OUR young men and women are doing to supposedly protect OUR society.
Is it really worth it? Do they appreciate it? Would National Service not stem a recruiting/retention problem but also let the British Public know how their armed forces were being used.
This may educate them and those that go into positions of political power on how to use Her Majesties' Forces around the world.
As you have probably gathered, I am not media bashing but making more of a point on British society that fuels the media industry (I wouldn't write a story - whatever my moral conscience - if it didn't sell papers). It is a sad reflection on the British public not necessarily the media.
