Erm you don't know me in reallife, right? well unless you do, i dont think you have the right to say something like that. pffft getting a bit ahead of yourself

If I had a brother who threw himself into what we now know as Iraq , I would call him a complete and utter idiot - but thats my opinion.

No one soldier is special. And considering Iraq in its present state hardly resembles the Normandy landings , lets not go throwing the word 'Hero' around either , brother.

And you have the right to say what you have done in this thread?

As I said at the top of page 4, people who make personal attacks towards people on the internet are usually those with no control, those who have no authority in real life and those who don't know how to handle themselves on the street. People who make personal attacks on the internet gain their authority by doing just that.

Its a pointless exercise really.

he is a hero

someone who kills is a hero?

By your definition. Im not trying to be insulting here , but what has he done in the army to make himself heroic?

Im all for sticking up for your sibblings , but if your going to shove it down the throats of others , thats not right either.

Lol I kinda do but onloy because this is the most action this forum has had in ages!lol its been so boring lately!

Nah, you've got it wrong. You sign up to the army. You don't sign up to the war. You can't pick and choose what wars you fight in, you just get shipped out. But to someone who has a family member in the war or someone who has been (and I'm speaking from personal experience here) they are quite special, just as they would be to you if they weren't out there in the first place.

But I do agree no one soldier is special. If a war is won no one soldier did it. They work as a team and noone should be singled out.

I think we should all shamelessly admit to enjoying these pathetic arguments , mostly involving Callum. Your right , it makes the forum a tad more interesting.

he picked up a 18 year old kids who had just be blown up

to me thats bein a hero

i no soliders kill but there trained to fight out there for the country

But surely a soldier in this day and age knows what they are in for?

Also , forgive me for not being clear on this , but what are the penaltys for refusing to go to Iraq?

Proof? if he did, he's not the only one to do that though?
it's unfair to single out a soldier, in my eyes, their all equal.

I'd pick him up too! But I'd probably drop him again when I realised he was dirty lol (No offence to others)

To me it sounds fabricated , but theirs no proof either way , so ill leave that be.

Your brother is not fighting for the country. The country does not need to be fought for. Its firmly in its own grasp. Even when the war started , Iraq posed virtualy no threat to the US and the UK.

Come on, Callum! I am on your side but asking for proof?! Get real.

Are you not going to respond to Billy or Tom? See, that's proof you love to pick at people because others have made posts and comments towards you and you haven't responded, yet the second brother does a rocket appears up your bum and you respond with another, pety, not nice comment.

Its ok for people to have different opinions, Brother obviously is proud of what his Brother is doing as are others. But come on people no need to argue over it xx

Not asking for proof, but surely brother knows that unless he has proof that it happend, we won't all believe him.

yes i no they are all equal but my main concern and priority is obvioulsy going to be my brother

Brother didnt say the other soldiers weren't heroes did he? His brother done what he said, in my eyes thats pretty awesome of him, and he's proud of him.

Stop being so catty

No because there are different areas you can sign up for and there are different places you can be shipped out to, not just Iraq and Afghanistan but other places aren't documented and aren't necessarily wars.

You don't really get a penalty, not that I know of anyway. You just get a dismissal order, can never sign back up and a certain stigma attached to your name that other soldiers who served fully look down upon which just basically means you are a soft arse. Nothing more than name calling really. Thats all that happened to someone I know anyway.

I second that! I honestly love watching arguments on here! Some of the things people come out with is just so irritatingly ludicrous!

wow give him a medal, I'm sure other soldiers have done more things than that to be heroes.

Have you just asked for proof? :laugh:

Brother, ask your brother to take his digicam next time he goes to war, perhaps take a video or just a quick snap if he's not looking too good.
