ARSSES. What an appropriate moniker.
Intolerant squaddies with IQs below 100? perhaps.
Heres's my thought for them. Lets see if they can actually discuss it, or will they just dismiss it without addressing any of my points? I think we all know whats gonna happen
Wonder why no-one wants to join the ranks of sub-par intelligence disrespectful thug squaddies anymore

And I said;
"Ahhh yes, hello!! Chief `Walt` of Arniesairsoft.co.uk here, and damn proud of it. I had no idea you guys existed here until 20 minutes ago, but hey, we're all pleased your happy to risk your lives for your country and every single man woman and child among us, absolutely no pun or sarcasm intended, every civilian here honestly extends their deepest gratitude t you all
You do what we (the ones of us who haven't or are not currently in active military service) cannot bring ourselves (or cannot allow ourselves) do, and we are more than happy that there are braver men and women than we, prepared to sacrifice the most sacred of all things in pursuit of the common good.
I haven't read this thread, and to be honest I'm not much of a walt (according to your description LOL ) anyway seeing as I never wanted to join any actual army (too scared of that whole `death` thing, ya know?) but in all honesty, despite the respect I have for every serving soldeir in the world (whether I agree with their personal politics or not) you guys are hypocrites if your idealists, and far worse if you are not. You risk your lives through your career for the good of your counrty? Or just for the sake of a job? Or because you like the idea of killing foreigners? Or to serve some public trust? I don't get it, and I am well capable of `getting` a great many things. You'll have to trust me on that, but trust me. The outsider sees the most of the game, after all
FYI I own many, many toy guns (70-something at last count), and I have no apprehensions that you may pour scorn on the fact they are toys because I would never want a real one. Never. I bought them solely to shoot my friends with them - I would hardly want to hurt my friends now, would I? I play games, and that's a recreational thing for me. You do your job, that's what you are paid for but then you have hobbies, I'm sure. The walts among our kind are hardly what you would call `rounded individuals` but then they have never ended a human life, never robbed a family of their father, or mother, or child.
I'm not exactly proud of the fact that I make money from selling 2nd-hand building materials for a living, but I am proud that I have made a way in the world that allows me to never worry about commercial problems ever again. It has has made me quite comfortably rich and I can now afford a £500-a-week toy habit. Why are you proud of your jobs when you have - at times - a 5-human-lives-ended-a-week habit?
I see a stark difference there, and although I am morally flexible in contemplating that difference it is hardly a moral high point for you guys to take when your defence revolves around your employment situation facilitating murder.
Please tell me how you defend that position. Or just insult me and call me a wannabe, even though I have clearly stated I never-wanted-to-be "
