More like they watch Jeremy Kyle, cos they think the general public are fairly represented in that show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L00b Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Am I mistaken, or didn't most of the regions represented by/associated with that list, vote generally against the ConLib majority? ...seems fair if that's the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinz Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I guess the military have to take their share of cuts as much as everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMorris Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 I guess the military have to take their share of cuts as much as everyone else. Be that as it may, but the nett result will be that more reliance will be placed on TA soldiers being on the front line in places like Afghanistan (they already are actually), and I don't agree with sending part timers to war. I know that 'allegedly' they are trained to the same rigorous standards as full time soldiers, but I really don't see how that is possible. Part time, is part time. Full time is full time!
