The last pic looks like you're holding a chainsaw one side and you've then your arm off the other. 😨
One of the things that really pees me off is how uncared for by the government returning soldiers are after all they've done for them and all they've been through in order to do that. The adverts for the army don't say anything about that waiting at the other end after they've served.
Haha, yes it does...Oops, cut off my arm while taking a selfie! Just a blower vac thing fortunately though, can't doo much damage with it.
I agree with you Mini...The military is pitched as a job though...One doesn't see the horrors of battle until one is there but the, won't happen to me, thing is always in people's mind I guess...But solid pay, three squares a day and job security sounds good...Until one gets shot or bombed by an IED or some such thing.
My friend just went into the Navy and was telling me about the recruit training...It was cut down, made easier, so the lowest common denominator could pass it. That's who defends the country...It's not like it used to be in the good old days...Well, not here anyway, China are building an army...We're creating jobs.
That doesn't feel right. Almost like they're recruiting cannon fodder, if they don't stand a chance the moment they step into combat.
Yes, partly my point. Care factor - Zero as long as it looks like jobs are being filled. You've seen the adverts. They make it look like holiday camp. War isn't holiday camp.
It most certainly is not. 😢
