I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to earn that pay , I train for war and eventually deploy. I am required to pass a random urine test… for drugs, with which I have no problem. … What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to p…eople who don’t have to pass a urine test. Shouldn’t one have to pass a urine test to get a benefits cheque because I have to pass one to EARN IT for them? Please understand that I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sit on their arse drinking beer and smoking dope. Could you imagine how much money the government would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a benefit cheque?
And then there’s politicians, the people who decide when and where I should fight…
There’s a whole lot of people who should pass a urine test – especially those politicians who take the ‘urine’ out of the electorate by making promises which they then, conveniently, forget to keep…

Not just soldiers Bravo.
A lot of big companies down here now require a breathalyser test (at the gate) before entering.
The tests are known to pick up drinks from the night before. One of my mates was recently refused entry to a large dairy producer, he;s a beer drinker and had perhaps more than a couple the night before, the test at the gate picked it up at noon the following day!
I feel rather sorry for those in the armed forces at the moment. Not only are they expected to give limb and limb at a moment’s notice, but they are also coming in for the chop ie, job cuts as well. Nice way to say thank you to those who go straight into the eye of the storm – Libya, or Taliban territory, when no one in their right mind would go near …
Yep, we were warned about that when I was a young soldier and the strict drink/driving laws were enacted in Germany.
What an excellentidea, bravo. Drugs are illegal, so why should our hardearned cash go to people who are breaking the law?
Sorry, that was in reply to Soutie 🙂
“FFFFFFFF …..FFFFFFFFFF……..FREEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDOOoooooommmm….”

Bo #1 AMEN!
I suppose we could solve the problem by drafting all the scum into the army and making quite sure they go to the ‘NW Frontier’ as they did in Victorian times, Seemed to kill or cure last time round.
Oh, and send the politicians and their children too.
