Hi Aaron
I am sorry to see you go - we need people like you and like Two Bit and like Blues Shark who say unpopular things. And who say them based on personal knowledge and life experience.
On the other hand, I am finding h2g2 increasingly uninteresting and increasingly studenty. Don't get me wrong, one of the things I like about it is talking with people I would never otherwise have the chance to meet. But I feel the demographic is shifting more and more to UK campuses. And students by and large are just not that interesting. Oh well.
I understand why you are going. You need to protect yourself, and that is very important. But I regret it.
Ben

I am not protecting my self, I have nothing to hide. I just think it shameful that a site like this has lost itself behind the computer screens of those who refuse to live.
I lived and died on the battle field. I lost three of my men. .. and I live to tell their stories. . .they died so others could send me hate mail. . .

That is *so* sick.
Similar things happened but the other way round in the first world war. At the beginning everyone in England was very pro-war and people who were safe from having to join up gave white feathers to young men who they thought could join up, including to men who had been injured and come back.
I feel very strongly that people who have not been there have no right to diss the experiences and opinions of people who have.
Whatever we think of the politicians, it is always 'the poor bloody infantry' who get it.
As I said, do whatever you think is right for you.
Ben

Not bad. Busy (as it says in my journal). And very much looking forward to my time off. Physically ok, but I have put on weight because of not enough home food, and not enough exercise. Mentally a bit weary, but nothing some time off won't cure. Emotionally, fine.
All in all, as I say, not bad.
