A recent(ish) subject matter on Coronation Street and Eastenders!!!

Would you allow your son or daughter to join the army and risk been sent to Afghanistan?

Personally I would allow them to do as they pleased, but i wouldn't "like" it, and would try to disuade them into going. Yes we need strong people to fight in the army, and without them we would be left with nothing, but during this world now as it is, with the was in Afghasinstan and young "cannon fodder" been sent out there with not enough equipment, would you be happy to have your children join up?

There is nothing wrong with being a soldier fighting the terrorist in any country, including Afghanistan, Iraq, and other terrorist infested countries. I will allow my son or sons to be in the army or any branch of the military. It is an honor to be a father of a soldier who will fight for his country and for others. I believe that each of us had a purpose in this life. Anyone can die at any time at any place. I would rather that my son will die in battle than to die in his couch watching those non-sense shows.

Fair enough! And I congratulate your son on his bravery. I know I wouldn't and couldn't do it. And have nothing against those who do of course!!!! They are extremely brave men and women, and although nothing is wrong with it, I know if it was my child NOW thinking of joining the army, I would be very worried about his or her safety, but if it was somehting they wanted to do I would support them!

I think in the US the war in Afghanistan makes more sense, whereas to many of us in the UK we wonder why our country is still involved in a war which as far as I am concerned is nothing to do with us, yes we are helping the US, but it seems to me our soldiers are been killed as our country are not giving them enough money for the right equipment- if they cannot afford to protect our soldiers, then they should drag them back home.

If I have more children I would certainly will send army, To protect our people and nation we must take initiative to go forward and should show mentality to serve for our country. I am an Indian I like to serve to for my country and ready to die for our country. Indian neighboring countries like Pakistan ,china , Afghanistan all these countries have no peace and making troubles to neighboring countries.

Not only that I would allow them to, but I will demand them to, if they are fit of course.
those 3 years of serving will do only good to them, and it should come from their heart, to wish to protect them land at any way possible.
