I look at that and I see propaganda. Do we really need that to appreciate what our forces do? I certainly don't.
I have the utmost respect for our soldiers and would welcome any one of them into my house and give them food or clothing or shelter and give them the respect that they deserve.
/not to belittle our incredible armed forces, I also have great respect for the cleaners in work who clean up all the shite that I leave behind. I know it's on a different scale but I respect many people where most look down.
you have a point, but cleaners dont generally lay down their lifes to do their job?
and although both jobs are more thankless than they should be i personnally liked the video and though it to be a good tribute.
No, they don't but that's not the point I'm trying to make. This is probably the wrong place to post it as many will see it as a snub ( even though it's not ).

fair enough. not sure on the american front though

/The video was good but more suited towards Americans if you ask me.
different kettle of fish m8 ..for the cleaners to pick up all your shite why don't you just pick up your own shite
cleaners or bank managers there no difference should be treated the same way
please don't take offence
the americans have triple our army out there but doesent mean they do a better job.
Americans tend to need things shown to them to reinforce themselves and their beliefs that what they are doing/what there country is doing is right/noble. I've always been brought up to be reserved.
Maybe that's a thing of the past, maybe we should celebrate things like the American's? I'm not comfortable showing my emotions like they do but I have great respect all the same.
it wasnt the average american soldier as the title. not after an argument, i just value our forces and liked the vid
The video was fine but until recently you would only see that kind of thing for the American market. We are obviously becoming more and more Americanised. We'll be whooping at the slightest on t.v shows before long.
You say that you "value our forces" and it almost suggests that you think I don't. I offer them food shelter and respect, no one else here has done that and yet I'm coming across as the one who hates our armed forces?
Please people, read the thread again. I just think that the video is geared more towards an American audience. If I've not become so Americanised that I like this stuff then........
o.k. I fall down on that one. I don't have much respect for bank managers in general. [/QUOTE]I'm too busy doing the fixing but I suppose I could pick up more. The cleaners could be made redundant I suppose but I'd still respect them.don't suppose do it mate if you respect them as saying what you could do if a lot of difference of actually doing it
you don't seem to have much respect for anyone including your self pal with your comments

I don't believe they do. American public tend to be more publicly sentimental than the Brits. My post had nothing to do with what you posted.
/I can see where this is going. people think I'm against the soldiers even though I'm not.
