This article compares the EU countries spending as a % of GDP http://www.bullfax.com/?q=node-european-public-spending-revisited Defence is the little grey bit near the top of each column. Even the US spends a smaller percentage on defence than they do on "social protection" or welfare as it's also known.

okay it deletes anything bigger than a certain character count... okay that's annoying but all i want to say is if we sort out the country we will have more money in the country and i am not saying we should just spend this purely on defense i agree that we need more money for the NHS and schools, but it is a bit disheartening when the government cut the defense budget again and again, especially as i am going for a military career but that makes me a bit biased i guess.

I figured your position was driven by being military in some way. No bad thing that, but maybe try asking a nurse or a teacher or a pensioner where the money should go It's a tricky balancing act and all too easy to only see one part of the equation.

but it's still relatively higher than most jobs and I also don't want to go overseas.....

You're more likely to be killed as a police officer in the more dangerous parts of this country

'i'll die and my mrs will be widowed'. There's a chance you can die in any job, yes it's slightly increased in the army, but your still highly likely to be fine. You make it sound like it's guaranteed.

Great feeling isn't it!

Brilliant!

I might stick to ww2 games where I don't need to take on guys with leet systemas. The ASG Sten mk2 is king of ww2 airsoft guns atm

...and mine cost £100

 

thats celcius mr B XD and russe i would love to do that but no ww2 games around me

Yup you gotta be prepared to travel, got one in June in Portsmouth, then a rifles only event in Sept near Leicester. I don't even have a rifle yet, but now I have to get one Theres one in Rudgeley in between I might be able to make it to. Had one in July just got cancelled near Aylesbury due to lack of sign ups

Memorial Weekend in the States, so it's not been on there. Therefore we dont get it either this weekend!

it should still be aired some where in the world that i can definitely not download it for free...

Location? I'll be there in 5 minutes

Crack out the airsoft guns- that's what I did with my sister's last party. Nobody's come since a guy burst into the main hall of our house in full kit with a bigass sniper rifle

lol been eventful night luckily not too much pissing around so guns stayed locked away XD

well i cant drive yet so wouldnt work for me XD

How did everyone's exams go?

Not too bad actually thanks. Not really the stuff I had revised but it was okay was the last day today so got study leave until next exam on the sixth

well they see what you see but can go on the internet, WHOOOOO so revolutionary

ah ok

Great for motorbike satnav Getting a pair as soon as im working

lol the maths was so easy thank god

issue is, that means higher grade boundries. learnt that the hard way... Anyway well done

yeah but i spoke to some other guys who where in higher sets and they thought it was hard as they wernt taught the easy questions!

exactly tak and mr B as i have been thinking this whole time

f*cking hell...the news really doesn't do this crisis justice. I mean, it's a lot worse than it seems. Skaut posted a load of pictures of the sh*t happening in Kiev that are genuinely pretty shocking. He said himself, news networks don't show that stuff.

 

Don't get me wrong I know the situation was bad even from the beginning but even so it escalated really quickly. I think the European foreign ministers are supposed to be having a meeting next week but all we do is...

Character limit can't believe that Kolomoyskiy thing though.

Anyway yeah - we keep saying 'oi vlad y u hlep terrorist people' but it's not going to solve the problem. There are obviously a lot of pro-Russian guys. This is pretty much a civil war, I know there is no formal declaration and no real group / militia but essentially it is.

moose its because i am 16, so i am starting to get the ball rolling as we had a careers officer come to our cadets on Thursday and told us to start sorting stuff out if we want to go into the army so i put my application in then

Ok so you got like 5 years if you go to uni. If you wanna go uni then you should be looking at a bursary so they pay for you.

yeah defiantly going to uni, once i have gone for my interview then i will speak to the guys there about a bursary

put it in classifieds and include more details.

i'm after a S95 shirt in 190/120 if you have one to sell

 

okay just checking too see if it was worth making a topic, i will later after taken pictures of it all (there are a lot of sets)

And Systemas are sh*t that's true I didn't think of it that way haha

How does the TM Recoil stack up againest gas recoil?

The TM electric recoil guns give more of a recoil effect than actual recoil. Nothing like a gas gun at all really.

 

As for systemas being crap... I'm not sure if agree with that, I don't agree with them being worth £1000+ but they're definitely very good guns.

Charge of the light brigade II: Electric Boogaloo

If NATO "go for it" as Ukraine have asked then we won't have much choice really.

I hope David Cameron goes for it. I welcome his demise and our new Russian overlords.

if you're blowing fuses chances are you have a short somewhere

damn
