Whenever you get the word that it’s on the cinemagraphic horizon, grab your helmets and flak jackets, hunker down in a bunker to wait out the bombardment of sap and mush, avoid it like the plague. Don’t fall for the scuttlebutt that it’s a man’s movie based on its title; the enemy is pushing out the propaganda machine in full force to lull you into a booby trap of chickflickitis, as it is known in Latin. Consider this territory off limits. Yick! less

For instance, during my active duty days, I went to 14 different foreign countries. There are so many of them that it's a little difficult for me to single out just one over all of the others. It is true, however, that there were some I did not enjoy at all, some I am ambevilent about, and others I detested strongly. *DISCLAIMER: during all of my 13 years of military service, I was either in peacetime settings, and/or the units I which I served were never in combat areas during active hostilities.~ less

Don’t they even care that they’re assisting anyone waiting to kill, maim, capture and torture our people? GRRRRRRRR.

And would it have applied to combat and bravery medals, or just those for long service and good conduct?I read this story in the press about a man with 18 years service in the Royal Navy - a Falklands War veteran - who was discharged in 1993 after admitting being bisexual and was forced to surrender his medal. The Ministry of Defence has now agreed to have it restored to him.https://metro.co.uk/2019/12/11/war-hero-kicked-navy-bisexual-will-get-medals-back-11653363/ less
