Re: Protests at returning troops Parade
Being married to the Army, working for the Army - living and breathing the Army.. i see all too much the pain and grieving that families go through when their brave, courageous, loved one has been killed in TELIC (Iraq) or HERRICK (Afghanistan). These selfless people are giving their lives..and their families lives and future..for democracy. They are fighting a real threat to our democratic way of life. The freedom of choice and right of equality. What these protestors are doing are mocking that freedom, mocking our Western way, mocking our right to live as free human beings. It is laughing in the face of the good, the decent, the brave and the general British public.. who may not support the wars..but at least are behind our troops 100%. The lads and lasses who come back need to feel proud, need to feel supported ..need to feel that the country is behind them because they are willing to give their lives for this green and once so pleasant land..the protestors should be rounded up and expelled from OUR country..they have the right to protest..but we should have the right to kick them out..that would be true democracy..
