Navy tour return - Rant

[Matt]

Preparing myself for flak here, but I don't think tom deserved that response tbh. People have a tendency to knee-jerk when on the topic of the forces, and have incredibly strong opinions on the subject.

Although I don't necessarily agree with tom on this one, what he says is logical, and basically just points to the fact that the media, and the news in particular, is shit. It never addresses the underlying issues, is mostly tabloid Bullshit, or if not that, it has huge amounts of political swing, and the ignorant masses lap it up.

For the record I am entirely against our current deployment in afghan, and previous operations in Iraq, in fact the only 'justifiable' war was the second world war. But my main point is this, just think about what tom is saying, it isn't that offensive,it isn't personal, and it has some level of logic to it, the response was unneeded.

Very well said and totally agree
