This is despicable treatment for people who protect all of us.  I find it so hard to realize that Britain, where there are still reminders of WWII and the blitz as well as IRA bombings as well as home-grown terrorist attacks, could be so blind about what these soldiers are fighting for.  God Bless them, and every man, woman, and child in Great Britain should be blessing them too.

Wendy: No one can improve on what you said abouit this situation. Bravo!

No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

Eurabia…

The MoD ruling about British Servicemen and Women not wearing uniform in public when not on duty was brought in to protect them from terrorist attacks at the height of ‘The troubles’. It has fuck all to do with ‘Eurabia’. It just hasn’t been reviewed since peace came to Northern Ireland.

Personally, I would happily see our troops in public in uniform as would most Britons.

So, what’s the connection between Afghanistan and Ireland?

I know you are not ignorant, so you must be trying to be obtuse.

Read my comment.

The rule was brought in during The Troubles to prevent troops being targeted by the IRA and it hasn’t been reviewed since peace came to Northern Ireland.

So, even there was nothing going on in Afghanistan during “The Troubles”, it still applies to troops returning from there?  Weird.

Now you are being obtuse. Off duty British troops are not allowed to wear their uniform in public, full stop. It doesn’t matter if they are coming from Northern Ireland, Afghanistan, their barracks or even the moon.  They cannot wear their uniforms in public.

I got that part; you justified it by saying it was created around the IRA period, and I guess they generalized, so it wasn’t really just about Ireland, then.

The IRA terrorist campaign was not restricted to Ireland. For the same reason, military personnel stopped being issued with military plates for their personal vehicles. The IRA started targeting individual soldiers, so steps were taken to reduce their ‘visibility’.

my man came home 4chrimbo from afghanistan and caught a taxi from the airport and a train to wales from london in his uniform.. im proud of him and so should every1 else be, let them where their uniforms, its stupid not to,

they shouldnt even be out there, its americas war, and afghan isnt about terror, its about drgs, n statistics have proven that drugs on the streets have increased since they’ve een out there so the plan isnt workin..

let our men come home to their loved ones before its 2 late x

Flamer?Why did MoD not target IRA terrorists? Because of cowardice in MoD. Once those “persons” were removed from MoD the IRA terrorists were targeted and stripped of their ability to carry out terrorist strikes outside of NoIreland. And yet, this anti-military policy remains in place. Why do you think that is?
