Spare a thought for our troops please and sign here.

Whatever you feel about war, the soldiers are the ones that pay. They pay for the decisions of politicians regarding where and who to fight, they pay for the failures on budgets, they are the ones that follow the orders.

IN FLIGHT - JUNE 29: British Soldiers from dif...Image by Getty Images via Daylife
When I was alerted to this, I felt real sad. My wife wanted to join the RAF, and if she'd this would have been a lifeline to us, as it is to many soldiers. Soldiers are people, with family and friends who maintain hope and keep them motivated.

Please see below a petition to keep the British Forces Post Office from closing. This means that all free post (under 2kgs) to Afghan will be stopped amongst other things.
Below is a quote from Sky News.
"When the servicemen and women of our country are fighting and dying for this government's dubious honour, it treats them with the contempt it has shown across the board," he said. "The BFPO has for decades provided a lifeline that is utterly vital in maintaining moral and now they want to cut it. "MPs have granted themselves £7,000 a year postage - but they seem to be happy to put extra costs on service families. How typical, how venal, how vile."
Please sign the petition.

Whatever you think, please spare a few minutes to add your signature to the petition.
