I am completely fucked off with the anti Military stance on this site, So AIBU to be wanting to set the record straight? Ask me a question and Military people and myself will try and answer (within the Official Secrets Act)

I didn't realise that MN was anti military Confused

Are you mitmoo? Argh this thread is very strange.

MiseryBusiness · 24/09/2011 21:38

Anti Military?

Examples? :)

AgentZigzag · 24/09/2011 21:38

What kinds of questions are you anticipating posters asking?

It's sad you feel there is an anti miliatary stance on MN, but I've never noticed anything, and I spend far too much time on here.

I've got a question.

Are the blokes in the SAS really as cool as fuck?

Can women get into the SAS do you know?

fivegomadindorset · 24/09/2011 21:40

Could you please let me know in advance when you are planning to move a tank with a police escort so that I am not late picking up my DC's from school.

Army brat here.

Not seen any anti Military stance. Maybe you're just rubbing people up the wrong way?

meditrina · 24/09/2011 21:41

Arse, Prune, RR or RP? And why?

mandwa78 · 24/09/2011 21:41

Yes SAS are cool as fuck and no they dont take women apart from in admin roles

AgentZigzag · 24/09/2011 21:41

Oops, the spanish inquisition, I accidently asked two questions Grin

MiseryBusiness · 24/09/2011 21:41

Women cant join the elite or special forces :)

I'd imagine they were pretty cool in general, SBS are cooler though

whatsallthehullaballoo · 24/09/2011 21:42

As far as I am aware women can and do serve along side the SAS BUT they are not in the SAS.

And yes...they are as cool as fuck Wink

OpenMouthInsertFoot · 24/09/2011 21:42

I have a question.

How many wars do you think would have been fought throughout history if the people who declared them were expected to fight them on the front line?

ilovesooty · 24/09/2011 21:42

So how does disagreeing with the OP on the urine testing thread = "anti military stance"?

AgentZigzag · 24/09/2011 21:42

Thanks mandwa, I'm reassured to have that knowledge Smile

Have they ever been challenged on not taking women on?

AgentZigzag I have never personally met any SAS so I couldn't tell you, and yes there are female SAS.

OP posts:
MiseryBusiness · 24/09/2011 21:43

Not many I'd imagine :)

BlowHole · 24/09/2011 21:43

Op what are your credentials?

whatsallthehullaballoo · 24/09/2011 21:44

I thought military was respected on here?

MiseryBusiness · 24/09/2011 21:44

Can you link any threads that have been anti military?
