In the USA all military past and present are treated like heroes and get discounts everywhere as they should. Here in the UK our military have to be careful with nut jobs and the latest soldier stabbing is horrific especially after Lee Rigby.

For me if a soldier is being attacked with a knife like Lee Rigby or that Kent soldier then the police should shoot the offender dead by aiming for the head.

Yes that policeman at Manchester Airport was wrong to kick the offender in the head but his girl colleagues nose had been broken. No softly softly approach for me! Scum need to be eliminated if they are a threat.

I hope that scumbag who knifed the innocent soldier the other day gets his just rewards in the nick. Karma so hope someone does the same to him but one step further so tax payer money is saved.

Our soldiers and military do a fantastic job. I salute every one of them past and present and are eternally grateful!
