There like vegans, they soon tell you they are military.

Which make me assume they think it gives them some sort of entitlement.

We don’t have conscription so you chose your job just like anyone else on here and I don’t really care what that is either.

We've reached this ridiculous situation of American of quasi-hero worship of the Forces. If you are cynical you can tie it in with unpopularity of the second Gulf War. By creating this aura around the forces, you couldn't make criticism with out sounding as though you weren't 'backing our boys'.

Like all walks of life - there are good folk and there are cretins. Classifying everyone as a hero is bullshit.

This isn't the mass conscript and volunteer military of WW1 & WW2. Even Northern Ireland isn't what it was (thankfully). Folk signing up nowadays for a 3 year tour doesn't necessarily mean they should be hero worship.

I love anyone who that’s doing a dedicated profession especially that’s is to protect people of the country, I also like people that are physically fit and mentally strong.

What I don’t like is the guys that use the military link to attract, it’s very unlikely you would ever see a guy in his military clothes or with a gun but they do seem to put photos up like that, do you get a nurse posting photos of her in her work wear?

Better to be an original version of yourself not a stereotype to impress

Mostly mugs who put their life on the line to do the behest of the wealthy people who play political games with theirs and others lifes. The sadest part is they buy into this "nobile" nonsense, doing their bit for their country - the country you were born in is a random act of fate, go ahead and defend randomness and make some rich fucks more wealthy or powerful.

Mugs.

Being an ex serviceman it is something am very proud of the years of service I have given, but am sure it is the same for anyone in any job, defently not a point I would push on here, or in any situation as am sure a nurse or doctor etc would not either, I would belive the ones that push the point may not have even served ( walts) and think it is a way to enhance their chances. This sort of place is about the person and the conetctions made not what you do or have done!!!

just to add my little offering of an opinion here....

(previous threads similar to this one have my thoughts on this subject too... but, im wading in again haha)

i very rarely meet anyone from here, especially in recent times.

but, when i first joined fab, i did occassionally make the effort to make some friends

without a doubt, the friends i had then, are hugely part of the reasons i dont meet anyone now.

in my opinion, military men are a whole different class above other men

absolutely the best company to spend time with.

alpha type men that are still respectful, great fun to be around, non arrogent, stuck up or judgemental, know how to treat a woman before you reach the bedroom & after you've left it.

should have said before, this isnt an open invitation for any guy thats ever worn any uniform to message me assuming im up for randomly fucking you all lol

i am not!!

just to clarify this one, it was the men i was attracted to.

the self-confidence & charm turned me on!

(not that im bitter or anything haha but i didnt get the pleasure of a personal veiwing of the 'man in uniform'... sighs)

i cannot stand people who act like they are better than everyone else & have an arrogance about them. there's nothing more off putting than a guy that constantly boasts about his job or looks.

ive only ever encountered anything like that from non-military men!

i have been so privileged with the friends i made but, they have never made me feel as tho i was lucky to meet them.

Anyone putting their life on the line to defend mine (military/police/fire) gets my respect.

But there’s a mix bag of ex-military at one end you get the young bucks that signed up for a few years and came out thinking they’re gods, at the opposite end there’s the mid-50’s ones that like to rub it in your face that they done their bit; but somewhere in the middle there’s the ones that have served some their time and are proud of their accomplishment and don’t bang on about it these are the ones I have the biggest respect for.

The yanks p!ss me off with the amount of early/mid-30’s “vets” that like to be thanked for their service ‘yeah we’ll done you managed 10 years in a job’

There’s plenty of other occupations that use it as a chat up line too - not just military. I’ve had messages from coppers, nurses, medics, and firebobbies that have very early on told me their occupation and offered to show me their handcuffs/bedside manner/large hose....

I’m a fan of a man or woman in uniform, but it’s not a deal maker or deal breaker

I totally agree. Most of my lovers have been military men and the damn best, in terms of explorative filth, intelligence and respect. I've anarchist politics and open about it. Throw in colonialism and family in the forces then it's a heady mix. People join for all sorts of reasons.

I absolutely adore them.

Wow! It’s often an eye opener what sparks a ‘discussion’ in the forums. Such sweeping generalisation. Many uniformed personnel may use their career as a selling point; being as so many profiles and status updates on this site seek this. Doesn’t for one second make them all the same. Everyone is individual and should be treated as such surely. There are good and bad in every single walk of life.

My old dad is an ex soldier, 30 years serving and a finer man you couldn’t meet. I just sincerely hope he’s not on here suggesting you lovely ladies come and look at his medals

Joking aside. Sometimes a uniform can help with a wee bit of confidence x

A real mixed bag indeed lol.

I'm currently serving and have done for 19 years. Never once mentioned unless I'm asked what I do for a living. When asked "What are you up to today" chances are the answer is "just at work".

I do know there are people who use it to attract women, and that's because there are women attracted to soldiers/uniform.

Tarring us all with the same brush is very short sighted.

I know some brilliant guys. I also know plenty of bellends in my job.

The same as any job.

But to have a go at their reasons for doing the job is out of order.

A lot of wannabe politicians who reckon they're better than us on here.

I've never chosen a partner based on their job, political or religious stance.

Always chosen by whether they're a nice person or not..... how old fashioned of me!

Enjoy your Sunday folks.

I'd say in reply most join not for the noble reasons you think but more to put food on the table for their loved ones and to make their life better. This country has even less work available now and for a lot of young folk it's a means to live perhaps even better themselves with a free means of getting a trade.

Did you miss my original post where I said "mostly"? There are some wealthy and career minded folk who do well out of a military career, the rest are mugs for volunteering to be political pawns and cannon fodder.

I didn't vote for this government and nobody outwith the Tory party voted Johnson. Democracy? You really that naive?

"There like vegans, they soon tell you they are military.

Which make me assume they think it gives them some sort of entitlement.

We don’t have conscription so you chose your job just like anyone else on here and I don’t really care what that is either. "

I have every admiration for anyone who does certain jobs, such as our emergency service workers and our armed forces. However society does need everyone and people should always be valued whatever they do. In regard to your profile OP, as said above I think some employers do frown on employees being on here so openly and you may want to consider that... just a thought - happy fabbing

I get a lot of messages saying “do you like military guys” . To me that’s like saying “ do I like guys with dark hair?”

It all depends the guy. It would worry me if the guys biggest selling point was that he was in the military lol

I thought I could buy my tongue here, but I can’t.

Who in the name of ever-loving fuck are you, and what do you know about the kind of person joins the military? Because it seems to me, that you have no clue. Let me educate you slightly.....

Your average soldier is a young teenage male, between 17 and 19, sometimes with a questionable upbringing, and very probably, a minimum standard of education, They join up, not for some heroic vision of ”saving the world” or that of ”protecting their country”, but because they most likely would have a hard time finding employment elsewhere. Simple financial gain, it makes the world go round.

The majority of them will do their 4 year contractual obligation, and leave. Those that excel in those 4 years will generally stay and attempt to climb the ladder.

We swear to carry out the wishes of the government of the day, that’s sort of a given. Sometimes that means we go to some rather unpleasant places, and make certain people die, but more often than not you’ll find the military used as aid to the civil authorities, flood assistance, covering fireman strikes, delivering fuel supplies around the country and to name but a few. We are the back-up plan for anything that goes wrong in the UK. “Let’s get The Army in, they will sort this out” is all to often heard echoing around Westminster.

Now, I’m not saying that every decision made regarding use of the UKs military power has been correct (I’m looking at you OP TELIC) some politicians are absolute reprobates, and shouldn’t be left in charge of a snack van, much less a military. But what I do know is that without our recent intervention in Iraq, IS would still have been running riot in that region of the world, and surely that’s not a bad thing?

I absolutely love being on deployment, I love the adrenaline rush of knowing that someone is trying to kill you, it literally is better than sex, like seriously. (Does that make me weird?) But let’s get one thing straight, I don’t continue to do so because it’s what the government wants, or because I feel I’m helping to ensure our security back in the UK or some bollocks. I do it for myself plain and simple, and for the men there with me. If anyone’s lives are improved even the slightest bit by my being there, well that’s a nice Brucey bonus isn’t it.

Please don’t make such sweeping generalizations about a group of people you clearly have had little engagement with.

My you're intellectually challenged.

I have friends and family whi have been involved in the military and they know my thoughts and we enjoy the debate. You're bang on, some chose this "career" because they were limited in choice. Some remained and claimed the career ladder, one even manager sergeant after 24 years - thick bastard it has to be said. One is an army surgeon and managed to become a major, woohoo!

Iraq was a political lie. People were killed and that doesn't rest well with me but even worse, people were killed in the name of rich and powerful people flexing their political muscles.

You go ahead and get your adrenaline rush at the thought of ending lives in the name of....erm...nothing really. Trained psychopaths don't do much for me other than make me feel sick.

I was in the army. Signed on for 3 years but ended up doing just over 22. Its a job which suits some but most get out as soon as they can. I have a decent brain so promotion came easy. During the later years I found that 50% of the young lads joined up because they thought it was cool. They soon found out that tabbing for miles with kit while it was lashing down was far from cool. As i said most left as soon as their contract had finished.

It's just a job. I have only the one photo on display and it is me with a mate who is no longer here.

Yes I have some good memories but like my medals they are in a box in the back of a drawer.

Proud to of served but when youngsters ask about it I always say think hard about it. The reality is far from what you see on the tv. All these ex special forces guys bleed the same as anyone else.

Having said all that my son is now a lance jack in my old regiment. So i'm more proud of him than myself.

Voters can't really be blamed for the illegal wars, how could anyone that voted for Tony the Liar Blair have foresaw that he would take us in to an illegal war for which the sole purpose was to steal Iraq's resources? All our recent wars and of course our next one Iran were and are going to be orchestrated as the multi nationals want the oil etc and the truth is our armed forces are now used as public funded private armies for the theft of resources and these people do not care about all the civilian casualties or indeed the lives of our own service men, it is nothing but corruption.

that may be your opinion its definitely not mine.

another thing that kind of goes against what your saying is the military isn't a mindless automaton just doing as told there are clear defined things that the military follow so if a superior gives an unlawful order you don't do it.

It's easy to accept the blame you say we voted the muppet in not blame anyone and everyone else

It is certainly my opinion. Well by your definition they should have said we are not going to invade Iraq as it is an illegal and therefore an unlawful war . Also you should have told everyone what you saw in your crystal ball and let them know that Blair was going to start an illegal war and invade Iraq as I am sure apart from yourself not too many knew when they voted that he was going to do it.

Geezus christ people. Judgemental much. Like any profession some people are proud to be in forces, the same as some are proud to Lawyers , doctors, welders , bricklayers, hgv drivers, care worker, social workers . Ffs be proud of who you are and what you do regardless of other opinions if you do your job right . All these judges on their thrones dissing/putting down other professions.

No profession is perfect, true some only out for money (screw people over) , some work for big pharma companies (and lie about medications, vaccinations etc.... Etc...) , government with no moral high ground that have made choices that have screwed their own country over and highest rate of homelessness has hit) ,some get guilty criminals off when they should be in prison , carers, social workers turn a blind eye to abuse in looking after elderly /children. No profession is perfect all debatable.

Unless you are all sitting perfect try be a little more kind and less judgemental. A young person going in to the forces is sometimes a good option rather than the zero contract hours youngster are facing now or poverty. So a steady salary, roof over their head and food daily. I say a pretty good job to start with. Some kids leaving school have no opportunity to jump straight into employment as work is limited, so they end up no work and live off benefits all their life...

Forces actually help you more than you think, You get your licences from car to hgv licence, a trade, so when you leave forces and become a civilian, life is a bit easier than if they were trying to find work coming off benefits.

My hubby was in forces at 20 to provide for me and our daughter and continued until our 3rd child, being a stand in firefighter when strikes where happening, helping with sand sacks when floods hit the UK, we may not be for what the forces stand for but that isnt just what they are about, I'm not about what a lot of professions stand for buteach to their own.

When my hubby left to become a civilian, he started working as an hgv driver and still is, having 4 kids, 4 grandkids, a big house and everything we want I'd say he did pretty good being just a soldier lol.

These forums are brutal. Takes all the fun out of swinging.

Two things;

Serving and ex serving should be credited with just a little bit more recognition than they do. Not quite to the extent of America, but a good deal more than they do at present.

Secondly, from a purely selfish and omg physical point of view..... nothing like a really fit guy - as most are- ‘entertaining’ you. And just about all have brill life experiences.

Without wars you will get the unprincipled making money off of the backs of others. Many join the military to defend democracy, freedom and safety. Yeah most are patriotic, but if you think our forces are being used, i would put it to you that you are one of the cretins who vote in the govts, that use people prepared to die and defend us. I joined after the Falklands war, served in N Ireland, where we did save lots of innocent civilians being killed, I did a UN tour in Yugoslavia, and was involved tn the 1st Gulf war, all under the orders of our govt.

Until 89 we had the USSR threatening to burst through Germany.....and you think that people, perhaps inspired by family who served in both world wars, and the ensuing sense of duty...are not noble.

Get a grip, they do jobs that would make you piss your pants and cry for mummy. One of the best surgeons in Aberdeen is still on call, went in op Herrick,,,wonder if he is not noble.............. people who dont like our forces should just shut up, maybe even feel humble, that they live under the freedom many died protecting.

"I currently serve as a member of the armed forces, just curious what everyone's opinions are of the armed forces and of people who serve in it

Thanks

Best job in the world, you will meet the odd jealous civilian, where by trying to disguise their own lack of courage and self worth, will try and talk your job down.

You will find a kinship between our three armed services, the police, fire service, Prison service and frontline NHS, all full of NOBLE people with a sense of duty, people prepared to put that sense of duty and service, above that of a more comfortable, and profitable life.

So stand tall young man and remember, have respect for others, but our services are all better than us mere civis, because of that willingness to sacrifice for our sake.

Territory and resources are fought over by every animal on this planet since the beginning of time.

Only difference between other animals and us is unnatural weaponisation.

Must admit although some do play the "I'm ex/forces card" to get some. It doesn't provide the same power as years ago. I do think it should be keep to yourself though cos info can be dangerous in the wrong hands, you don't know us either....could be a spy.

However, I loved being a cadet, going to bases, kicked out of bed in middle of night assault courses & especially "those" rooms that test the ultimate you.

Not even allowed to do that to cadets now.

Would of joined if it wasn't for becoming a mum young & at the time there was height limits etc despite being more than able to do what was required.

"A real mixed bag indeed lol.

I'm currently serving and have done for 19 years. Never once mentioned unless I'm asked what I do for a living. When asked "What are you up to today" chances are the answer is "just at work".

I do know there are people who use it to attract women, and that's because there are women attracted to soldiers/uniform.

Tarring us all with the same brush is very short sighted.

I know some brilliant guys. I also know plenty of bellends in my job.

The same as any job.

But to have a go at their reasons for doing the job is out of order.

A lot of wannabe politicians who reckon they're better than us on here.

I've never chosen a partner based on their job, political or religious stance.

Always chosen by whether they're a nice person or not..... how old fashioned of me!

Enjoy your Sunday folks."

The perfect response!

Mugs.

Mugs who fight for your right and freedom to post such drivel.

What war did the military fight to enable forum posting?

Just that little thing called free speech.

You're talking nonsense now"

Very anti! Guessing you either got stitched up in some way by a bad egg, or have a very poor opinion of those who serve for other nefarious reasons? Maybe just take each one as an individual as all are different, the same as in the rest of society.
