Re: Should we let foreigners join the British Army?

Which foreigners? I can trace my family back to Liverpool for a couple of generations, after that diddly squat!

Liverpool like all major cities in this land was a large melting pot, "shock horror", it was actually encouraged!

We as a nation should wake up, we are mainly, 'foreigners', O.K. the ratio of which foreigners, and from where changed over the last 30/40 years and there has been just a touch of isolationism, (from both sides).

If History is studied, we have always used others to help fight our battles, but before one drop of Polish blood is spilt for the future of this Country, there are many from both sides of the rift that should consider the armed forces, (which has always been another melting pot), as a career not because they should die for their Country, but because it would be a better and prouder way to be than the alternatives on offer at the moment.

People used to serve with pride, as they should, but these day's being told don't wear your uniform in public means that our society is very sick not the people willing to serve.
