Two planes landed in England today...
One brought back a group of overpaid, under achieving footballers.
The other brought back 7 coffins, each with a Union Jack drapped over them.
Footballers play for your country,
Soldiers FIGHT for OUR country.
Footballers give 90 minutes,
Soldiers give their lives.

...and there's absolutely no relationship between either of the two groups apart from coincidental plane landings.

well said who gives a fHeart-string pulling bulls
t.kTo clarify:
Do I consider membership of the armed forces a noble (for want of a better, less patronising word) profession? Yes.
Am I appreciative of the danger they put themselves in and what it means? Absolutely.
Do I think footballers are overpaid primadonnas? Yes
Do I think incapacity benefit scroungers are scum? Yes
Do I think either of the last two have anything whatsoever to do with the first two? Not a chance.

I think alot of people, me included, have family and friends in the armed forces.k?!!

Comparing armed forces personell with the England football team is not fair on them at all. Also, most people on here won't care about last weeks 'REPOST DIS STATUS IF U AGREE' Facebook fad.

It's only 'your' country with regards football.
Other than that, I'm with you all the way.
Soldiers do an amazing job, in places they would rather not be, and- if the general press is to be believed, often under equipped when they do so.
However.....they chose to join the army, they don't get to chose where they fight, or indeed, for which cause.
For the record, I have no interest whatsoever in football.
