24.  Tulsi G on Biden

The problem isn’t just that Biden is old. The problem is he’s insane. Only a madman would not consider a nuclear holocaust/war an existential threat, saying “the ONLY existential threat to humanity is climate change.” And this insane person has the power to launch a nuclear… pic.twitter.com/edyRRRL6qd

This popped up in my YT suggestions - sad of course but the guy's channel may be of interest. 

Do British Veterans Regret Fighting World War 2?

That was vlogged by a Zoomer and my feeling is that, being born in the late 90s or noughties is nobody’s fault, not even the Romans … maybe his parents … and so it’s to be viewed with that in mind. 

Below is a former soldier (retired) … Penseivat … on the question of conditions today. I too remember forces quarters in the late 80s, early 90s, in Mill Hill East and at Warminster. Yet look at this:

Penseivat:

My Grandson told me that he wanted to join the Army, and asked which branch I served in (for 22 years). Rather than talk to him about it, I drove him round a nearby military barracks, and showed him the accommodation he would live in, as a single soldier, and the married quarters he would be allocated on marriage. 

I then told him that the single barrack accommodation in my day, though fairly basic, was well maintained, the interior by the occupants and the structure by teams of, often, ex military. 

WOn postings, we were 'marched in' and 'marched out' of married quarters, which were thoroughly inspected and, on leaving them, had to look as though no one had ever lived in them. Then, we have the Barrack Inventiory Accountants and Property Service Agencies again, often ex military, who looked after the maintenance and services.

Not that long ago really, some numpty in the MoD reckoned that the military budget could save a bob or two by selling the accommodation estate to a private company, which would maintain that accommodation, and the MoD lease those married quarters back from them. 

On paper, a very good solution and, no doubt, that numpty received a knighthood or CBE. 

The partnership fell through when the property company failed to deliver. Media reports are full of the shocking state of military accommodation, suitable for those serving their country, and their families, but not suitable enough when offered to the small boat islamic invaders, who were instead put into 4 star hotels. 

"This," I told my grandson, "Is what successive governments consider playing their part in the military contract. Most of these properties are in such a shocking state, no one in authority dare charge rent, or quartering charges for them. Would you be happy for (his fiance) to live in one of these?"

I am proud of my military service, serving in Singapore, Borneo, Europe, and Northern Ireland, as well as several UK posts but, knowing what I know now, would not enlist. Politicians pay lip service, especially on Remembrance Day, and then shoot (no pun intended) off to their clubs for a good meal, brandy and cigars, forgetting their promises to the military until the next November 11th.

Celebrate Armed Forces Day? I do, and meet up with ex colleagues and comrades, but the conversation, sadly, seems to turn to the same things, betrayal by the government of those serving, and those who have served. 

My grandson has accepted the offer of an apprenticeship at a local engineering works, and loves it.
