look closer
"You call me a wanker, immature and tell me to fuck off back to my checkout"

Well lets face it, anyone joining the forces whilst also branding them an "international criminal war machine" is a wanker.

Anyone who says that it's not possible to work in a job that is rewarding and does good is immature.

And the checkout reference wasn't aimed at you, perhaps you also should read a bit closer.

"If you read the OP properly, which its apparent you still have not done. You will notice I never at any point insult, disparage or take away from the people who make up the armed forces."

Your words: "Even though I have no desire to go all over the world and be a part of the killing of thousands of civilians and the general fucking up of the planet... I really dont want to be a part (however small, safe and in the background a part it may be) of an international criminal war machine"

The RAF does not travel the world killing civilians as you stated. They combat military targets.

You say: " I dont need anyones approval to justify my position or my opinions".

OK, so don't get so upset is someone calls you a wanker for being a hypocrite when you provide your opinion to the public for comment.

Don't bother replying, I have no interest in arguing this further. I think you're a hypocrite, you wont change my mind, and insults wont get you anywhere.

One last post because I think we have reached the end
I dont care whether you think I am a wanker, twat, dickhead or any of the other things you have called me, I will happily trade insults over the Internet like a retarded 5 year old.

I am however slightly bothered by your continued incorrect insinuations about what I have said. So I am going to break it down nice and simply and type really slowly.

The military for the most part does not decide where it goes, what it does when it gets there or who/what its targets are. The government decides this and in the case of the current wars in the Middle East, the government, not the military, have made in my opinion criminally awful decisions which have directly and indirectly caused horrible bloody results on all sides. Therefore its an 'international criminal war machine' which has left many tens of thousands of innocent civilians and hundreds of young soldiers who deserved better, dead.

This is not a swipe at people in the military as they are pawns and are victims like everybody else who is involved.

I am a total hypocrite for wanting to join this 'international criminal war machine' and wanting becoming a pawn myself for those few pieces of silver. The whole point of the OP was showing the lies I will need to tell to cover that and like I said, if you think I am a wanker for this, then bully for you, lets all be keyboard warriors and call each other names. But I have nothing but respect and admiration for the people who do the job and any suggestion to the contrary is just laziness of thought.
