This country is fighting a war. Now whether you agree with it or not, its happening. If anyone wants to stop it, lobby the government, demonstrate against them. You don't shoot the messenger.

We currently have a forces recruitment shortage, we need young men & women, demonstrations like this do not enhance recruitment. We are currently engaged in so many overseas conflicts, as peacekeepers, advisers, yes even combatants. Most in places some of you have never heard of.

Our forces are following orders. Orders from a democratically elected government. Now this government may be weak at the knees, they may be selling our culture, heritage, history & way of life down the river, but to change anything starts with the ballot box.

Unfortunately, the ballot box has failed, the government has failed, & is continuing to fail on a daily basis. Muslims are walking all over us & demanding more & more. Marching on this little town would be the final straw. It only takes a spark to set a fire. This is far too volatile to allow.

There is so much more to this than just a protest. Personally, I`m sick & tired of hearing about Muslims. Muslim this & Muslim that. For crying out loud, just get on with your own life & stop trying to change ours.

Not many of you have ever been involved in a conflict, so you know nothing. I can tell you this, when lads come home, on leave, some after bagging their friends body up, & see these, *****s demonstrating against them, tempers will rise. No discipline in the world will overcome the emotions.
