Double Standards

Some former soldiers have become used to no standards in life. The latest edict demonstrates the Governments inability to show any standards, least of all to those who deserve more.
When you vote for people who have no concept of what makes a soldier, what do you expect?


MoD gags military as soldiers banned from blogging

            British soldiers<br />

The Ministry of Defence has introduced new guidelines to prevent military personnel talking about their experiences as members of the Armed Forces.

Soldiers, sailors and air force members will be prevented from blogging, taking part in surveys, speaking in public or posting on bulletin boards, according to The Guardian.

They come after the row earlier this year about two members of the Royal Navy selling their stories to the media after being held captive in Iran.

Receiving money for interviews, conferences and books which draw on official defence experience has now been banned.

But they have provoked condemnation from service personnel, some of whom immediately turned to online forums to talk about their incredulity and confusion about the clampdown.
