Why is that when the Press report on the Army, very nearly almost good things, and what heroes they are etc... and when they report on Police it's nearly almost all the bad things that happen?
I am not anti Army at all, infact I have often thought about joining the Army, the guys are FIT! But what's with the blatant favouritism? lol
The Police do fantastic work, they are constantly whizzing around dealing with 999 calls, or undercover work hunting for the drug mules, or dealing with the mass of robberies that occurr, dealing with sensitive rape cases etc...
The Army is amazing, they do amazing work, they work hard and they are away from their families but let us not forget that we are in the 21st Century, these days you are not forced into the Army, like you were back in the day, it is a choice you make, exactly the same as the Police, you choose to apply to work for the Police.
My question to you all is...
Are Soldiers really heroes?
If so, are Police not heroes too?

Sadly public opinion, probably manipulated by the media to a degree is that Soldiers/Army etc are seen as heroes - they make a sacrifice. Although as you say they are not forced into this. The only time I think the police are held in the same regard is when one of them is killed on duty.
ReplyDeleteI was having an argument today over the news reports. Regarding the Police using batons to control the violent protesters. Why shouldnt they?
All violent protests do is to highlight the violence, from both the yobs and the police, the actual cause gets lost.
Bood blog - point well made.
