Where to begin.
"innocent civilians who have to pay your tax-free wages and accommodation and food and whatever else we have to pay for."
1. Our wages are not and have never been tax free. In fact we are the one part of British life that cannot get tax free even when we are posted overseas to warzones for more than 6 months of the year.
"We have to find jobs, earn our money, pay, tax and ni, save up to buy our homes, pay all our own bills, do our own shopping and pay for everything ourselves. You get it all laid on so you don't undertand how by putting putting our town at risk you upset us and could destroy our whole lives."
2. We have to go through a recruitment proccess far more painful than anything you have ever had to go through to get our job. We earn our money more than you will ever know civvy tw@t. We pay NI and tax. We do our shopping, we pay our bills, we own our own houses, and if we chose to live in a mess, be aware that of the large number of ex military accomodation that have been turned into prison, all have had to be upgraded to meet minimum standards for convicts.
Quite frankly I despise you nimby pumpers. If you don't want a military then vote tree hugger or whatever. If enough people agree with you then we will be gone.
If you do think we should have a military then man the f@ck up and shoulder that tiny tiny bit of extra risk that military aircraft cause you. The members of the military shoulder an enormous amount more to protect your right to whinge like a girl.
Screw you.
