A RANTING company boss has caused outrage by claiming that he would rather employ a PAEDOPHILE than one of our brave troops.
Karl Winn, 60, said he would "recruit ex-drug dealers, convicts and child molesters" instead of former servicemen or women.

I used to think they were brave. Brave in a way where it was honorable. They are still brave because they have to face danger. However most of them have turned into nothing but mindless pawns that follow orders to kill illegally, and a lot of them LIKE it.
If everyone denied to fight, what power would the criminals in charge have? Those who are part of the conflict are the ones still fueling this illegal battle. I know some of them are trying to do their best, but they need to put down their guns.

I watched a Youtube vid (obviously not on there now) about a Texas Ranger who told how they were ordered to kill as many civilians as possible in the initial invasion so that the population were terrified of them.
He said that the US Marines and the US Army raced each other up the motorways on either side of the Tigris River and destroyed every vehicle on the way to Bagdad. They hit Bagdad on the evening rush-hour as floods of unknowing commuters were heading home to the suburbs. He said that not a single person survived it. He estimated that he killed over 100 civilians on that one day - and he was just a grunt. The machine gunners, tanks, bombers etc must have really notched up the kills. He said he watched a tank drive over a commuter bus full of people as it stopped to let people off. Then he went on to relate how they were ordered to move through sections of the city killing every single humam they met - Shock & Awe at work.
It was called operation 'Point of the Sword'.

Yeah, that old chestnut 'If we don't fight them here then we will be fighting them on the streets of our cities'. Like the Taliban or the Iraqi resistance can field any kind of military force outside their own countries.
Personally, I'd like to see how brave these troops are if they were faced with a proper enemy like Russia or China, rather than just blooding themselves against lightly armed civilian fighters.

'Personally, I'd rather recruit ex-drug dealers, convicts and even child molesters rather than consider anybody who has been in the pay of the British Government.'
'Anybody who has been in the pay of such a military force, and by their silence and complicity has condoned such illegal and immoral actions while accepting a monthly bloodstained pay-packet , certainly won't be considered for employment by us.'
'The reality for the families of their victims is that there will never be any justice, and there never will be any closure, for the loss of a son, a husband, a child, or a family member who has fallen victim to British Military personnel who are going beyond 'just doing their job'.

Can't say I agree with the comparison. Most soldiers are actively recruited from poorer area's. The military is very good at painting a wonderful life and the media LOVES to glamorize war.
No offence to you as a serving soldier but one can't help but wonder, if these individuals were better read and given the truth as to what war is not only like, but what is actually behind it. Then recruitment would be near impossible.

It is typical jingoistic Sun 'journalism' but looking beyond that, the real sentiments of the boss is flawed imo. He mentions that service personnel don't have to live with the legacy left by war. Who is he kidding!? And as for 'going beyond' just doing their job, what is he using as his reference point. Although worded better than the Sun article (hardly difficult!) it is an incredibly biased pov that is equally capable of stirring up hate as this thread proves.

When you join the army, part of your job description is to follow orders without question. It is called doing your duty. If you don't like the orders you are given, carry them out anyway, and complain later, which is the policy of the armed forces.
The vast majority of our servicemen and women joined the forces out of an idealistic notion that they could serve and protect their country. Others joined because it was an opportunity to get off the dole. Either way, they have been screwed by the system they serve, by being sent to clean up other people's crap, and fight fake wars. That isn't their fault. They are doing their duty, and following orders.
There are a small minority who join the army purely for the blood-letting. But I should point out, they are a minority.
The men and women of the British Armed forces are among the most honourable in the world.
You can't blame them for the system.

An evangelical messianic Jew is someone who would prove an obvious threat to any Jewish soul. It would therefore be typical of a synagogue to want to bar him entry were he to be exposed to other members in the vicinity. It's not labelling messianic Jews as paedophiles - it's what we call an analogy to demonstrate different examples of Jews that would be denied entry into a synagogue no matter how welcoming they are supposed to be.
Mill Hill Synagogue's Rabbi Yitzchak Schochet arrived in the UK from New York in 1991. He often appears on radio and television and was recently signed up by The Guardian newspaper as their resident rabbi.

Don't worry about offence jiffy! It wasn't my intention to try and hide behind the label. I just wanted to nail my colours to the mast early before ppl accuse me of hiding motives. You know how this forum can be at times!
It is very true that the military recruit from poor areas but there is a misconception that as soon as you don the uniform you are cannon fodder and brainless. There are over 150 professions in the Army alone and many young men hoin up to learn the trade whilst receiving a wage and then return to civvy street. I have 11 'O' levels (none of your GCSE rubbish mind;)), a BTEC in Avionics and an Engineering degree. However, i concede that i am in the minority but just wanted to show that walking slowly towards the enemy isn't everyone's job description.
You are right, the Media glamourise war to a horrible level. To be fair, the military might not show potential recruits bits of former soldiers in their publicity shots but they certainly don't laud war at all. Perhaps this employer should refuse to employ journalists and polititions instead. I think that would be closer to the truth.
Wisdom i would certainly agree is key, education however is a little too subjective for my taste.

Yes I agree, education wasn't the best terminology to use...information or knowledge if you like.
Some of the most ill informed people I know have 1st in anything from History to Biophysics
I lecture older home educated young adults in History, politics and economics. Trust me none have any aspirations to join the forces. Not because I tarnished or manipulated their thoughts or opinions, but I merely provided them with the tools to make an informed, knowledge based decision.
Knowledge is power, which is why the education system promotes "regurgitation" not self thought or informed young people.

I think gaining an understanding of any of those three topics would put you off the military for life without any help at all!;)
History = Who has suffered before
Politics = Who causes it now
Economics = Who benefits in the long run
I think you know me well enough by now jiffy, my opinion is obviously going to be slightly biased in this case but i do try and remain as objective as possible in all i discuss.

It is incredible how the Sun hijacks all things military when they feel they can make a buck. I was involved at the launch of Help for Heroes (still am) and know where and why it started. 2 months later and it was 'The Sun's Charity for the Armed Forces'.

OK then, i'd be happy to tell you that it is a minority.
In 19 years i have met about half a dozen who crave battle (of which none had actually been), 2 or 3 that i would consider racist, and none (including me) who are happy taking orders. We take them because it is our job.
I would argue that those who aren't in the military are the happy ones when it comes to orders as they are less aware that they are receiving them. At least our superiors shout rather then insidiously drip feed.

I would humbly suggest that you review who you need to direct your hatred towards. Murderers, scumbags etc. and yet you claim to know loads of them. I would certainly not spend time getting to know you if that was your view of me so i question your 'facts'.
Can you let me know the last 'War' that was organised by someone in uniform please?
You would rather they join for 'a cause'. I did. The cause was my family's future. I make no apology for placing that at the top of my priorities.
I do enjoy reading someone spouting expletives about all that is bad in the world until a new soap box takes their fancy. It is frustrating to see people continually condemning the Armed Forces as they continue to wear their Nikes, drink their Coke and eat their Macdonalds. All bastions of compassion aren't they.
The simple fact is that any profession and/or lifestyle can be deconstructed. If people spent a fraction of the time they use frowning at the rest of society and instead look to how they could be a better person then who knows, they could put me out of a job!

Well for what its worth i don't eat mcdonalds, drink coke or wear nikes.
I cannot find any justification for going to another country and killing people. Don't fool yourself into thinking you are doing this for your family. If you haven't noticed the UK is not exactly a nice place to leave your family (or the USA or wherever else you are from.)
My profession isn't important, as being a hypocrit (not that i am) never, on its own, disqualifies an argument.
Look at it from my perspective. I think 9/11 was an inside job, i don't think al queda exist, i think the NWO is a very real possibility.
So with that in mind, where you see heroism in soldiers going off to fight for this country, i see pawns going off to die for powerful controllers.
But even without those considerations, what right do you have to invade another country, overthrow its government and kill people? why can humanity never learn from history.
Einstein said: "To my mind, to kill in war is not a whit better than to commit ordinary murder."
he also said “The pioneers of a warless world are the youth that refuse military service.”

Well for what its worth i don't eat mcdonalds, drink coke or wear nikes.
I never said you did
I cannot find any justification for going to another country and killing people. Don't fool yourself into thinking you are doing this for your family. If you haven't noticed the UK is not exactly a nice place to leave your family (or the USA or wherever else you are from.).
You cannot, but it is not you making the decisions. If we, and i stress, we all deconstructed every 'order' we receive on a daily basis then anarchy would reign. It is impossible to judge in the now the consequences of later.
Please don't tell me my motivation for doing things, i am fooling noone least of all myself.
As for where i leave my family, it is the UK and your statement on it 'not being nice' is crass and silly. We all leave loved ones and nowhere is 'safe'. I act for the betterment of those i love. If that means i have to leave them to work then so be it. It isn't something unique to soldiers.
I notice as well you haven't addressed my query on naming a war that was instigated by men in uniform?
My profession isn't important, as being a hypocrit (not that i am) never, on its own, disqualifies an argument.
I didn't ask for your profession nor did i accuse you of hypocrisy. However, now that you mention it, i would like to know your profession if possible please as it shows those reading your motivation behind your opinions. Clearly my posts will be pro-soldier as i am one. People knowing this can deduce for themselves whether or not my opinion lacks objectivity. Without knowing your background they do not have the same luxury with you. I also fail to see why announcing what you do would constitute hypocrisy. The only way that would be possible would be if you too were a serving soldier!
Look at it from my perspective. I think 9/11 was an inside job, i don't think al queda exist, i think the NWO is a very real possibility.
So with that in mind, where you see heroism in soldiers going off to fight for this country, i see pawns going off to die for powerful controllers.
I can certainly see that you would view it this way and respect your opinion wholeheartedly.
But even without those considerations, what right do you have to invade another country, overthrow its government and kill people? why can humanity never learn from history.
I have no right to do that. I work under the instruction of others. My reason for not throwing my weapon down and walking away i addressed above.
As i said in my previous post i would love humanity to reign. However, i do not see myself as a barrier to that being achieved.
Einstein said: "To my mind, to kill in war is not a whit better than to commit ordinary murder."
he also said “The pioneers of a warless world are the youth that refuse military service.”
there is some wisdom for you.
Unfortunately, they are other people's wisdom, not yours. The problem with quotes is that you are unaware of the context or motives. In the case of Einstein he was disillusioned that his work was used towards the construction of superweapons. It is no wonder then that he would say such things.
Let me show you why quotes are poor debating utensils:
"A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history."
"A man who won't die for something is not fit to live."
"In order for a war to be just, three things are necessary. First, the authority of the sovereign. Secondly, a just cause. Thirdly, a rightful intention."
Which Military Generals did i extract these pearls from?...
...Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr and St Thomas Aquinas respectively. How about we just use our own 'wisdom' from now on?
who exactly is it you swear allegiace too in the armed forces? family and friends? no, its queen and country,
Actually it is just the queen that you swear allegiance to. But then, all UK citizens should share that allegiance even if they don't swear to it. They don't of course but they should.
wake up.
What would you like me to say to this? React badly to an unnecessary jibe? Perhaps another 'wisdom quote? Sleep is the best meditation(Dalai Lama). No, i think the best thing to do is ignore it and hope your next reply is more respectful as i have been nothing but.

I care for people with learning dfficulties. it was a tough decision between that and becoming a murderer with the armed forces.
why should anyone swear allegiance to the queen?
Look, i'm just against war in general. I feel there is good reason to stay out of the current wars.
I'm sorry to say to some of my family would probably consider me a hero if i went to fight with the armed forces, but sod them, i disagree.

I'm not denying this is a tricky subject in many respects. I'm not saying i am 100% right or that my mind is totally made up. There is a lot of grey area.
I just get very frustrated when i see otherwise good people choosing to take part in what i see as an immoral and unnecessary war.
I do often resort to using off the cuff insults, spur of the moment type comments, this is plain to see in many of my posts and i often regret saying such things as i realise i am generalising.
i apologise but my general view is as stated originally.
i think we can all agree that humanity will one day find another way to deal with problems, other than war.

I dont wanna scare anybody but the frightening truth is that the concept of war has been hijacked by evil forces. It's not about territory or resources. It's about depleting the white race of it's strong stock. Every major war involves at least 2 white countries sending their young strong white sons to go battle another countries young strong white sons. It's sickening.
Today's American/Iraq/Iran war is being played in front of our eyes by these same dark forces. These dark forces control America and they have manipulated a false war against Russia's neighboring countries. As "war" progresses into a full out Iranian assult, Russia is going to step in and declare a most terrifying war. Again whites vs whites! This is what we refer to as "world war 3" and it will be the end of aryan supremacy as the last 2 great white countries go down against each other

Never mind the US, that has happened to me in the UK,
Can't say I agree with the comparison. Most soldiers are actively recruited from poorer area's. The military is very good at painting a wonderful life and the media LOVES to glamorize war.
No offence to you as a serving soldier but one can't help but wonder, if these individuals were better read and given the truth as to what war is not only like, but what is actually behind it. Then recruitment would be near impossible.

OK, i will!
I am neither a troublemaker nor a squabbler and i'll ignore the feeble insult. I was spat on whilst in uniform in a hospital where i was looking after injured troops. The woman who did it called me a childkiller as well. Without wiping my face i calmly said that i would continue to fight for her right to be able to say that and walked away. So you see, i back up my principles in the real world as well.
If i took a leaf out of your book and retaliated with name calling and expletives all i am doing is strengthening her position. In uniform i have to set an example so that people walk away with a slightly less skewed preconception.
Life, like water finds its own level. This man who made these idiotic comments has, in one email destroyed his name and his livelihood. He made his choice, he has that right. Now he has to face the consequences of his actions.

I was kind of freaked out when I seen his name on the list along with picture on the paedo list site. I wonder if they know, or perhaps don't care?
Thinking more about it, i'm pretty sure they know because the town is small and lots of people I talked to have seen the list.

it clearly shows, how those who are going against "our" soldiers, are to be singled out and shamed, it was his personal opinion, not a politician or footballer, its just a blatant propaganda tactic to try and get people to love the armed forces, which the majority already do.
