Its just sick that people could show such disrespect for people who bled for their freedom, the problem with today's society is that they take freedom for granted, when it can be taken away from them so easily, war veterans should be given a place in society above that of the usual jackoffs and slackers,and women seem to not comprehend what Respect is, no woman has ever held respect for anything(yes I AM generalizing), which is one of the numerous reasons why our society is so fucked up these days.

Good to hear though, that a lot of Brits are not putting up with it.

Also: much to the dismay of the political left, the Dutch soldiers in Afghanistan are quite popular with the Dutch people.

First off, I think it's complete BS that we're fighting over *there* for our freedom...shoot, our freedoms are being stripped by our government. The Patriot Act does damage to the Fourth Amendment and the Military Commissions Act of 2006 kills habeas corpus, and that's for starters.

Now--that having been said, why shouldn't these guys be allowed to swim? They've done their duty being Bush's cannon fodder, give 'em a break already!

The sooner women comprise 50% of front line forces the better. When they come home maimed and without a limb they went with, you'll soon see the pools being closed to the public to let them swim without the embarassment of being 'looked at' by the hoi poloi.

As for the women and the 'naming and shaming' that Admiral Lord Boyce, (friggin' wanker fishead who has done his time presided over the scandal of only men having to carry the military maiming burden) calls for, he knows full well that they can't be named because they are the same women he as sent men to die for as they won't fight for their country. We can't have the kiddies ashamed of their mums, now can we? It might damage their self-esteem.

Equal maiming, I say. And investment in white feathers for female cowards.

Oh no--I ain't joining the service!

Let the feminists join. Cull the herd.

Just any case anyone got the idea that Im one of those patriotic nutjobz who likes bush as a president and support this war, Im just going to correct anyone who may have that Idea.I would probaly go into the Conservative Isolationist group, Im against fucking with the rest of the world , I was against about every war we've fought, except for the Revolutionary war of course, and know that this so-called Iraq War poses no threat to our freedom, and its basically just the elite using the chaos of a war torn country to push their own goals, Ive been against George Bush, and I havent voted in five years because all the canidates just suck, and I made a mistake in referring to these soldiers as fighting for freedom, I wasnt really focusing on the war, but on how those men could be disrespected like that.

anyhow, just wanted to clear up somethings, in case anyone got the wrong impression from my wrong choice of words.

you know what would be nice, if we had a edit button, I look look look, and I dont dont dont see one, and this site site site likes to freeze freeze freeze, and that usually makes makes makes me double-post double-post double-post,and that pisses me off off off.

thank you.

As soon as this despicable news story became publicised in the UK media (amazingly they even published it in that well known anti-male pro-female rag the Daily Telegraph - female sub-editor and large female journalistic staff!) I sent an e-mail to the editor of the newspaper local to where this whole affair occurred - the LEATHERHEAD ADVERTISER, in Surrey. I strongly urged the newspaper to ensure that these vile women are rooted out and then named and shamed in their paper.

Surprise! Surprise! - I have so far not received any reply. I wonder why........

If the jeerers, mockers and protesters at that swimming pool had been male I'm pretty well sure we would now know who they were and that they had been banned from ever using that pool again.

Alexandra & Groobz,

I am speaking as myself and NOT as an admin of AM.

It would be much appreciated if you'd watch your tongues so to speak. There are a few of us here that are Veterans, Vets of this War, and this administration that you so loath. This is not a threat of any kind, I am just expressing my deep sorrow and somewhat resentment with your sentiments and callous opinions. Opinions that are, IMO, not based upon facts but bullshit media sound bites.

As a matter of fact, take this however you want, but I am not going to sit here and 'listen' to it without saying something.

PS. Amazing, I didn't censor something that I was not happy with. Mark your calendars!

I think it's only available to paying members.

Say no more, TMOTS, Im taking a vacation from antimisandry, sorry but its just became apparent that this forum has become filled with a strange group of idiots, so have fun, and continue to "fight the good fight" without me.

What do you mean, strange groups of idiots? And why do you feel that you may get banned? Do you feel that this forum is too heavily moderated?

I hate to see anyone leave here but I am not going to shed any tears at your departure especially with that parting remark.

And to all of you who say that our soldiers aren't fighting for freedom. Every American soldier in every war we have been in faught for freedom. The government may not have sent them there for freedoms sake but our soldiers themselves faught for our freedom and the freedoms of other people. I am sure the British and Australian soldiers I served with feel the same way.

Sometimes in global politics you have to fight for what seems to be an insignificant reason to let potential enemies know that we are not to be fucked with lightly.
