I know I've been away for a bit, but where did this come from in my absence??

tbh, I do find it a bit distasteful to have it there.

not wishing to be controversial at all. But v. curious.

Unfortunately war is a fact of life. Whatever the rights and wrongs of a particular war, we as a country are fortunate to have a group of men and women who will sacrifice their lives for their country. I cannot begin to imagine what it must be like to be married to someone in the forces - the fear, the uncertainty, the fact that their children don't see their fathers (or mothers) for months on end. Personally, I admire them immensely.

I assume Pan that you don't think abortion should be discussed on Mumsnet but perhaps you'd just confirm that.

[Desiderata]

I have also reported this thread.

[chocoholic]

Mumsnet forums are a fantastic support network for many people.
Why on earth should women linked to the forces be ostracized.
I think you are totally out of order with your comments Pan.

[Pan]

gosh really must go!!

1. it isn't a "political" thread, just about not killing families, whosoever you are, no exceptions
   
   
2. I really don't need the British army to defend my freedoms thank you.
   
   
3. It occurs to me that it is inviting to 'turn a blind eye' to what the purpose of the British Army is.
   
   Still, really must be away.
   
   Laters.

What about abortion Pan? Do you think that shouldn't be dicussed on MN?

[jinxed]

Why single out the Army?

When a terrorist comes into this country and blows up you or a member of your family, you will be ok with that? You wont sit there and ask why nothing was done to protect you?

Again, get a grip!

[Scootergrrrl]

1. Yes you do otherwise you would be living in a British outpost of Nazi Germany.

Also love the way that no-one is backing her up here. I think Pan knows she is in the wrong and we are right!

[Scootergrrrl]

Do you think she's bored? What a sad little life she must lead.

[Pan]

right. quick??

No, not stopping, or wish to stop, others posting on anything, unlike posters here who wish this legitiate point to be aired.

abortion - a woman's right to choose is my starting principle...did some peeps think I was "sanctity of life" and all of that? Nope. Not at all.

Still, dichotomy exists.

[jinxed]

Must be very bored. And agree, a very sheltered life.

Because my parents were both forces, Im assuming I am the offspring of murderers. 90% of my family are forces or ex-forces, therefore by association I must be a murderer too.

Great huh.

[Scootergrrrl]

Yes, I'm married to a murdered, my brother is a murdered and my uncle is also a murderer, as were both my grandfathers. So ostracise away!

[Scootergrrrl]

That's murderer obviously...

[Shoshable]

Isnt Pan a man................

[TootyFrooty]

Ok - so let's extend this right to choose idea.

Everyone has a right to choose whether to join the forces or not.

Your abortion argument still doesn't stack up Pan. You are talking out of your arse, imho.

[jinxed]

No idea Shosha - ooops if they are!

[Blandmum]

goodess, and all those murderers who liberated Belsen and the other concentration camps.

How easy it must be to live in such a neat little black and white world.

[Shoshable]

Maybe he couldnt make it in any of the forces, what would he have done if he had been called up.

[jinxed]

ouldnt agree more wabbit x

[jinxed]

oops COULDNT
