I saw in the Kate Muire column in the Times (Sat 18th Feb) a bit where she is describing travelling through London's east end and sees a poster saying "Do you know a muslim family with a son in the British Army?....call at ease....and we can help"
Mmm i'll have a look I think, and on its website it describes itself as an 'unincorporated voluntary group offering its services to members of the armed forces'.
It goes on further to say "Those who seek our help are those that find their personal needs or ambitions thwarted by the strict military regime in which everything is governed by the Queen’s Regulations"
On its information page there is only one bit of info...on..."Conscientious Objection".
The last time I looked our armed forces were volounteer only, so wouldn't a person with doubts not join in the first place. I read about the RAF reservist (who didn't want to go to Iraq I believe) and who was courtmartialled and thought that was a one off.
So I was wondering, do readers know if this is legal to advertise their services in this way ?, and what do rumrationers think of it generally ?
