Congratulations on a job well done!
It is a thankless job which pays a pittance and has enormous risk. I take my hat off to the British Army's men and women, they have showed so much restraint in Iraq and other areas of conflict.
I have seen footage of squaddies (soldiers) getting pelted with rocks and trash, getting shot at from all sides and all this to help create a better place for other people to live in.
Yes, they mess in the middle east may be partly our fault, but you cant blame a soldier for that, for that we have politicians to thank.
Overall, they are good bunch of lads and lasses |

I think they are so brave - You do a fantastic job !
My boyfriend was in the army and went to various countries including Northern Ireland,people don't realise what a great job they do day in,day out.
Also they don't choose where to go ,they are told...
And they can't just walk away like a normal job.
If people don't agree with Iraq they should blame the government not the troops !!!! |

Why are the British soldiers brave - which they are & doing a good job - which they are & the US soldiers are the bad guys.
Press forms opinions of our young. Maybe less TV & Internet would help them think for themselves.
Either both are good or both are bad - I believe both to be honorable soldiers. |

ill offend
you should be shot for treason
our soldiers are doing as they are ordered fighting and dieing for our country.we should support them ,things happen but exactly how many babys have been killed and by whom???
terrorist bombs seem to me to be pretty random and dont seem to be too choosy about who they kill would you feel the same if you had a loved one killed by a bomb or bullet fired by a terrorist???
how old are you?
what do you do?
have you a big mouth and small brain???
i think so. |

Don't badmouth our british soldiers, they do the job they are told to do to the best of their ability, and they do it well, the question you should ask yourselves is, Could/would you do it cos I for one could'nt |

Well done for sure! They risk there lives by following orders for Queen & country... |
|

They swear an oath to portect queen and coutry and risk their lives doing it on very little money, with precious little thanks from their country. What do you think?? |

I say well done, the media tends to focus on the mad bad few without a hint of the amazing everyday stuff they do... They put their lives on the line and I'm grateful that they are there to protect us. |

They do their job. If they're still alive after a while, it means they're doing it right and deserve the gratitude for it. Baby killers? Those babies were going to be terrorists... |

Most are good people but of course you always get a bad apple in any walk of life. I was one for 24 years. One thing that concerned me though was how the media reports them as Heroes as soon as they lose their life! Not heroes whilst alive? |

im a muslim and i see british soldiers as doing a good job because they r represnting their country and putting their lives at risk i would spit on politicians for causing unnesscary wars half the time they do not even know what they are fighting for |

You should be ashamed of yourself!! YOU disgust me! Our soldiers are doing a suberb job,under very difficult conditions! How dare you! |

Each and every one of them are brave individuals, Heroes in the true sense of the word, and should be thanked by all British civilians for serving them. They should be highly regarded, like the Americans do with their forces. On a detatchment to America, I found that they thank their military all of the time. I was in a nightclub in Arizona, and they asked "Who's in the military?" over the speaker system. The military people got on an elevated dancefloor and everyone clapped for them. I've had people on the street thank me as soon as they found out I was in the RAF. I wish it was like that here. Not to thank me, but the brave people who have been on ops. I want to be one of them, but all I've done is Op Fresco (fire strikes) |

Your average squaddie is a good fellow doing the job. What is unfortunate is that job requires activities that the average civilian finds repugnant. That's the big problem. Juvenal, a roman writer said it best when he wrote that those qualities that make a good soldier are not those that make a good civilian. We must understand that the battlefield has it's own rules that must be followed to survive. |

I say Well done our lads and lasses! Always support them. No one will ever convince me otherwise. I feel VERY VERY protective of our armed forces. Its a dirty job and I'm very proud of them. I would fight for my family, they are my extended family. |

you know i come from a military family and have been brought up with squaddies of all ranks. i still have no idea why they do it. i know that in the seventies they revelled in serving in northern ireland and then in the falklands etc they just love the action. but ive also sat and watched em cry at what they have seen in kosavo etc. finding women and children hiding in the bushes and the hills and getting a kicking from a mother while trying to help them with food and medical assistance and all this because the last thing they want to see is another soldier. |

As an American I think they are doing a fine job. I have respect and admiration for British forces. I only hope they aren't the recipients of the same hatefulness that Bush, American troops, and the American people receive from some of the Brits who post here. |

They are good lads and lasses doing a hard job - but they've been duped into fighting in a made-up war, the purpose of which is to make large American companies richer. |
