SSAFA POST
« on: 01 August 2007, 22:58:12 »
With regard  a recent post on here regarding a home from home for relatives of injured servicemen and the objections by neibours to this proposal, the local planning commitee have just passed the proposal. Thank god for the prevalence of common sense. The men and women in our armed forces are prepared to give the the ultimate sacrifice namely there life in support of what they believe in, the least they can expect is the full support of the people back home, especially when they return from a tour of duty injured. sometimes people need to think of others and not adopt such a NIMBY attitude

My son is in the forces, and I was livid when I heard this story today. Some people need to wake up and realise what is going on in the real world.

Great news. Will the NIMBYs stop at nothing?
With my father in law in the middle east at the moment, having a pretty rough time, by all accounts, I'm very glad.

Being an ex-veteran, I am glad that at last some council has taken a stance. As many posters on here have said it is about time.

Being a trained councellor working with 'broken' individuals from the services it is a very humbleing experiance. Also very fustrating trying to get outside help for the people.  The poppy appeal, a very good appeal, but there are others which help, the SSAFA being one of them not connected to the poppy appeal.

It is nothing like the 'pictures' it is a lot more sacry.

 I had a client bivied back from Ireland, he had seen 4 of his best mates blown to smitterines in front of him when out on foot patrol in Northern Ireland. He was walking down one of his home town streets and some yooths let off a penny banger by him. He lept through a large privet hedge. They thought it very funny. But he took it in the way that most of us would have done given the circumstances, he went over and knocked ten bells of s**t out of them.

Sorry to have rambled on but it just helps some time to think of others.

Apparently none of the NIMBY's had the balls to turn up to the planning meeting.

its always ok to object to things all the time when the scariest thing going on in your life is walking past a "hoodie" on a shopping trip. try a trip to the gulf, n.ireland during the troubles or bosnia peacekeeping !!!
pleased it went through.
