It's much better than msm.<br /><br />I ought to try to clarify my "daft", because I know some people won't read my blog.<br /><br />The military is currently taking on the Taliban, because the government wants them to. Why does government think the military will be cowed by what are, ultimately, petty political squabbles that actually demean government more than those they are aimed at.<br /><br />The military has full support of the public. All those bikers at Wootton Bassett - (not properly covered by msm) - people see the injustices.<br /><br />I know travelling can be, and is very tiring, but the military hold the moral high ground here - mainly because nobody has complained, unlike the various MPs who have bleated about a reduction in their personal expenditure.Mrs Rigbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06389986110372627649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-71985274753097079262010-03-28T21:40:22.943+01:002010-03-28T21:40:22.943+01:00Ah RA, I apologise but in my imagination I didn...Ah RA, I apologise but in my imagination I didn't think any one of them would be capable of evening peeing in space.

We have senior military personnel speaking on behalf of Britain at international conferences and they're absolutely knackered because they've had to travel half way round the world second class and had 2 little children screaming most of the flight. <br /><br />Then of course these military folk feel it's their problem they're exhausted and can't perform as well as they want.<br /><br />It's actual cruelty from government. I doubt many taxpayers would object to senior military travelling first class.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-69898964378249706912010-03-28T20:28:14.961+01:002010-03-28T20:28:14.961+01:00Are space shuttles first class RA?
