AIBU, the miltery awards on ITV

[RoseRedder]

AIBU?

I think this is wrong

The 'wars' these men/women have been in are all made up wars by the UK and USA government

And now there is a tv programme giving them celebrity status

I don't doubt the people of will be nominated will have gone out their way to aid their colleagues

But turning war into a tv programme is beyond sick

YABU for not even trying to spell military properly.

[KringleCandleLover]

Aibu to ask why you can't spell?

[KringleCandleLover]

X post.

[wannakillem]

Seriously????? I take it that some of the injuries are also made up then?

Armed forces personnel don't get to choose where they are sent.

Be grateful that there are those willing to serve, you obviously wouldn't.

[Twighlightsparkle]

I must admit , I feel a bit like well, no one forces em to be in the military, there's no law in this country that people have to join up.

I've always felt a bit weird about the heroes thing.

[RoseRedder]

no Kringle ask away

I have never been able to spell

The reasons for this? Some would call be dyselxtic , personally I think it's just because I can't spell.......I am a bad speller, that doesn't make me a bad person

[DoYouLikeMyBaubles]

My friend is abroad helping civilians rebuild their homes that were destroyed by rebels.

He is also teaching them how to be safe and protect themselves.

He deserves recognition in my eyes.

[TheNightIsDark]

Spelling doesn't make you a bad person. Slagging off people who put their lives on the line to help people have a semi decent chance at a future does.

[LtEveDallas]

Meh, so don't watch it. The General public nominate for all bar one of the awards, so it seems a lot of people don't agree with you.

[batteryhen]

I knew there would be a thread about this. If you don't like it, don't watch it.

[IamInvisible]

People in the Military didn't ask for this award ceremony, The Sun started it, Here.

You are not obliged to watch it, you can turn over or turn it off.

[RoseRedder]

wow

ok I'll fuck off then

Personally I don't agree with government sponpership wars

BUt I must be the one in the wrong

[Sidge]

The award I've just watched was for a woman in the Search and Rescue team that saved the life of a civilian fisherman. Nothing to do with war at all.

[MissMarplesBloomers]

As a trivial aside what HAS la Holden done to her face???

[TheNightIsDark]

All wars have been started by those in chance. Did the English want to invade France in 1415 (?) , no. But Henry V wanted a dual monarchy so they did.

It's a bloody brave job to do. Saying its wrong to call them heroes would be like saying firefighters shouldn't be called heroes as they choose to run into burning buildings.

[TheNightIsDark]

Charge not chance.

[BunnyLebowski]

I agree with you OP.

[thebody]

missmarple totally agree, spoiling herself.

Rose don't strop. you asked aibu and most posters say yes. don't ask if you don't like.

[Mitchy1nge]

all made up wars by the UK and USA government

op you are so funny, you should sign up for the Boer war immediately, or the franco prussian or the gallic wars, they were not made up, or the 100 years war or the wars of the roses? they can't have been made up, Shakespeare wrote about them

[fruitpastille]

I think it would be more appropriate to give a military award than a tacky itv one.
