I reckon it’s definitely a positive thing that the Pakistani military is sending helicopter gunships to help the civilians who are banding together to fight the Taliban. With a nuclear arsenal – it’s quite obvious to anyone with a  brain that Pakistan is the greatest threat to world peace.  It’s immensely reassuring that Pakistan’s considerable population are against the Taliban.

According to this next news story… smoking costs the NHS more than £5billion a year.  I’ve been saying all along that smokers shouldn’t get free health care.  Let them pay their own damn costs instead of the taxpayer.  Makes me sick that non-smokers should have to pay to help people who voluntarily and willingly ruin their own health!

Another story reports that Gordon Brown imposed a ridiculous spending limit in Afghanistan during 2006, which basically restricted the British Army in doing things like fighting, patrols, etc.  That sort of stupid incompetence is one reason why Britain’s cabinet is all fucked up right now.

On a good note… I go for Basic Military Qualification in Winnipeg on July 2nd, and then off to Soldier Qualification during August.
