i don't know i'm not female i don't get it it's a sell-out society we live in You saying we're better sir? Just think all the service personel should have had dignity and told the the media to fuck off, we've only got part of the story anyways. The whole media thing makes the west look stupid and compounds what muslin extremists think of us! no..... but woman can be sexist and men aren't allowed to be oh no i'll be targeted in leicester i wonder if my mate andy is still in afghanistan

The media's full of liars, scaremongers and over exaggraters. There are very few decent people in national media

It wouldn't suprised me if Turney showed up on one of those 'Celebrity' tv shows... It just takes the piss. There's thousands..millions..of people who have thought for their country and probably gone through a lot worse than what these hostages did (I'm not saying they had it easy though, they must have been scared to fuck!). But blimey, they shouldn't have profited from it. Granted, not all of them did. At least they were actually able to come home

I applaud the service personel for what they do, but this has really left a black mark

To be honest, I don't think they where in the wrong waters etc., and they where right not to engage - otherwise we'd have an international situation on our hands......... That said if they'd not realeased them then this would be on the cards. And they've got warheads!

Well, you know I don't mean it As you say, how do the world war veterans feels about this - even the casualties of the Falklands - whilst some of them told their stories - none of them profited so soon after the event

Most of them i should imagine are living close to the line and a bit hard up financially. This scenario is really no different from a typical slag selling a kiss and tell story to a tabloid. It would have been nice if she'd donated the proceeds to charity or something in relation to her experience, in that sense it might have partly justified it. You never know, she might have but i doubt it. To be fair, if someone offered you a tidy sum of money to tell your story would you turn it down?

Well I think the whole point of them going public was to embarrass Iran, and for us as a nation to feel more empathy towards the captives. For me it has the complete opposite, and just left us with no cred at all

Armed forces are paid by the hour 24 hours a day. You are a soldier/airman/seaman/lady all the time. You don't go telling what you do when you knock off as there is no knock off.
