The Sham That Is Our Armed Forces

'Hey wow look at us! Our military is improving, we can TANK THEM TO HELL!'
That may be the case for a select few, but let's look at the situation for normal, hardworking troops such as myself.
I work for the RAF company on a subsidised wage of 10GBP a day, when I could be earning over twice that in a private company, on the agreement that I will be outfitted with weapons to fight with. It's been 19 days. 19 days since I last recieved any weapons, and how many important battles/RWs has the UK been involved in? Lets leave it at lots.
We lost by 100 damage in one battle, and all the while we had over 200 Q2 weapons stored in the RAF company, ready to be given out to troops. Were they? No. Instead, they are being donated to both Collins, who is a prominent figure in the military, and our current president Hassan.
Do either of them work for the RAF company? No.
And whilst we are on the issue of military spending, we should take a look at this And see that our dear PM, who was once teased as the MoD for being weaker than his paratroopers, is now a FM. Of course, this may be because of the money donated to him by his dear friend RoadRunnerSpeed, who famously took the government to ransom and stole vast amounts of the countries gold.
It seems to me that high up officials in the British administration take what money they want and delagate it to a few fortunate people. Some will say that I am writing this article because I am bitter, want to hit back at the government etc, and that is exactly what I am doing. People work for their weapons, and don't recieve them, whilst those who do not work in government owned companies.
So I would like to ask for the weapons I'm due, because I'm due a good few, or the 190GBP lost from wages. And I'd like to see that applied to each and every hard working citizen cheated out of their money and their labour by the UK Armed Forces.

As soon as I saw the title I knew it would be you, Indie. Was moaning all over the forums not enough?
i applied for the RAF, and didn't hear anything back, ever! haha. eUK is a shambles in terms of organization, I have only truly realized that now having relocated. The leadership in eUK sucks big time.

I get weapons just fine l2miltaryportal or give someone a nudge on IRC,its usually a matter of them not being online or simply your own stupidity in the matter.
Tommy, when you applied there was a bug in the script that weekend, and in fact, no one managed to get a response on their applications. This was fixed and people were told to reapply.
So I'm on the military portal... and what a suprise! No link to get weapons. It's happened to others who feel just as cheated as me.
Also, IndieKid, I'm pretty sure Hassan is employed in a military company. I believe Moped is a military company, so your point is moot. Also, Collins was working in military companies before he moved to Indo on deployment.
"So I'm on the military portal... and what a suprise! No link to get weapons. It's happened to others who feel just as cheated as me."
You never get a link to get weapons from the portal. You either need to ask on the designated thread in the RAF forum or ask on IRC or PM your superiors or the CO himself.
Indie come back to the eUS and fight with us 😉
On the RAF forum we were told to follow the link in the military portal. Because that's how our CO prefers to hand out weapons. Apparently. And Malta, this (http://www.erepublik.com/en/organization/532621) is run by the military? It has links to the cccp website, but does the government own Q5 housing?
No, but Moped is a government company, the other ones are not. Heck, if I remember correctly, I approved it during my term along with the WC.
Guys, if the above article is true then this is wrong. Is there not a procedure in place when issuing out free weapons?
For the record, I get weapons.
@ malta_1990, i did reapply, and once again heard nothing.
UK military is fine. Don't worry about it any of you.
vinners: +1
no, eUK and its military suck
Tommy, you're not even in the eUK. No on really cares about your opinion anymore. Not that anyone did before, either.
lol flamur
You really needed 3 simultaneous defeats to figure out your army sucks?
We could have told you that weeks ago (We did, in fact)
Flamur, that is the comment of a man on the defensive. I feel sorry for you 🙂
Sadly the rafs q1 weapons are stuck in canada, so thats another reason why.
You know this so why moan about it.
And what about the 200 Q2 in the company I was working in?
Just come work for my commune :3
Indie is right. There is something seriously wrong with this scheme. It happened to me often as well in the past. hence why I left the army funded companies and began self-funding.
Don't make assumptions about the whole military when you only have experience of the RAF.
You did leave Camelot of your own accord 😃
I know 😃 That might have been a mistake
I agree with my RFA PP opponent, Tommy your still an asshole, clearly.

Wait.. The UK has armed forces?
@ Tommy - Man on the defensive? Defensive of what? I've been saying for a while that our non-elite army is badly funded. And anyway, I know a troll when I see one.
e's rite ,,,
If you dont like the Gov companies go work the PCP's/zumbum's commune...
I belive I'm right in saying the wages are good?
'Sadly the rafs q1 weapons are stuck in canada, so thats another reason why.'
This isn't the case, or atleast shouldn't be. A company doesn't become unmanageable when it moves.
As for this article, tbh if i wasn't getting weapons for working in a company that should provide them, yeah i'd be pissed too.
Rock on!
Indiekid has a point here-if he ain't getting what he is owed then he has a right, nay a duty, to bring that up, especially if it is with a company that is owned by the RAF; if the government can't pay out what it's promised, then the citizens have a right to know about that.
Troll I may be, but that doesn't make that I said untrue... haven't you lived abroad at all Flamur? Seeing things across the water a bit makes you realize eUK isn't so peachy 😉. The whole organization sucks.
I strongly suggest that no-one gives anything to Tommy, ingrate that he is.
