Seedy army life

The Army is as difficult to understand as the UK at times.

There’s a load of people, a lot of activity, and it’s spread out all over. Never has it been clearer what is at fault in our lifestyles, however, in part because our paths cross and strange things occur as they do.

It’s not usually positive in my experience.

Most of the soldiers I’ve met are criminally minded, and in too many instances were engaged in crime as I met them. I found a young soldier cornering a civilian in an attempt to abduct her. He’s a sort that trades people for cash in the UK.

Later, I found out about a group called “Abduction Unit”, who organised random kidnappings. It did it on a larger scale but by that I don’t mean hundreds or thousands of people. Perhaps “complex” is a better word. It implies operations are planned and targets are wealthier.

In one target area children were told to “go down” for three months so their parents could secure it. In some places soldiers destroy civilian security measures put in place for our safety to remove any and all obstacles to their own operations.
