    *claps* he should get a medal
    my cousin was in the army from when he was 16 for about 10 years, he got a medal and royal certificate of some sort for bravery. Sadly, he's not allowed to say what it was exactly :confused: most of the stuff he does now (security) he can't tell us about.

    Whilst I applaud your sentiment - the title is a bit condescending isn't it?

    I think it was meant to call light to the fact that far too often we speak about ex military personnel in a negative context. As in war trauma, or amputation, etc.

    But I suppose that wasn't really my question to answer. Didn't mean to try to speak for you where'smyplacibo, sorry bout that.

    I saw this, makes me think that Humanity is still keeping it's true anture under all the shit we put on the surface these days.

    Then again, some other people make me lose hope.
