9. It’s all to do with political will and protecting your people

“Britain has weeks to escape new powers allowing the World Health Organisation to recommend imposing lockdowns in future pandemics, a group of MPs and peers has warned.”

7. Guardians of the homeland

The best way is for almost all in that land to be well educated, inc. in the western underpinning … what Steve calls cultural Christianity … the civility, dignity, way of doing things. The next step is an individual choice … John 3:16. I see no issue with that.

So, looking at a year level of military rookies, they’re faced, as I was, with choices. In my case, it was either military, in which dad and mates had been, trade because my father had died and the stepdad was in a trade, plus was offering me factory space gratis for the first years, to do my screenprinting. My dad had been trade too … a master.

My mum provided a third path … both had slaved to put me through one of the public schools, which was almost a guarantee for good university entry … teaching beckoned, as I’d been awarded a scholarship. Plus there was a young lady in the mix and a future there.

I chose the screenprinting and ran with that for awhile, taking three month courses and related things. But I was also able to gauge my aptitude, plus major corporations had that game tied up … a newbie was not going to be able to undercut the big firms … so it seemed the best future was in education … so I was quite a mix.

Now the military thing … a natural sceptic/radical/rebel (through my mother?) … weeeellll, I had to sort out in my head where I was on that … before committing, because my training had taught that the time to ask questions is before committing fulltime. Once you were in, you were in, matey. Utter imbecility not to insta-obey when on an exercise or for real, as you’re endangering your mates.

Now I knew that and the question was … did my temperament allow me to be what was needed? And that’s the dilemma facing lads like this:

In other words, we’re now in the hands of globo-commie above I’m afraid and they are not patriotic to their land. When govt starts effing around with troops, esp. loyalty, then pay and conditions, when good men are fired over the deathjab … that’s a morale sapper … and these *&£#£&*s above are not good people.

Serving forces personnel are just below a gallant leader in society imho … they should have the best of everything, inc. cradle to grave funding. The leader’s job is to deploy in such a way that he keeps his troops alive afap.
