Hilary Engward Anglia Ruskin. While writing my MSc dissertation in 2022, I grappled with the term ‘Commonwealth personnel.’ Instead, I found it more fitting to refer to refer myself as a ‘spouse of a Zimbabwean-born personnel serving in the British Army.’ I had hoped that the government’s replacement of ‘Foreign & Commonwealth personnel’ with ‘Non-UK serving personnel’ and ‘Non-UK veterans’ would be more inclusive, but it has proven otherwise. These labels inadvertently create division within the organisation. In reality, anyone serving in the British Army, regardless of their place of birth, is a British Army serving personnel or veteran —period. Rather than using terms like ‘Commonwealth’ or ‘non-UK’ to describe people, let’s recognize all service members as part of the same organisation. By emphasizing unity over division, we can foster a more cohesive and supportive environment within the British Army. Promoting inclusivity and acknowledging the shared commitment of all personnel will undoubtedly strengthen our collective resolve. let's keep fighting for a better world 🌎 🙏

Over 100,000 Gurkhas and Commonwealth citizens have served in the British Armed Forces, with 6,000 still serving and living in England, Wales & Scotland with their families. The government has replaced the term 'Foreign & Commonwealth personnel' with the label 'Non-UK personnel' and 'Non-UK veterans', which diminishes our unique identity and sense of belonging. Serving in the British Armed Forces requires us to live a life with very little separation between life and work, where everybody relies on each other – prepared if necessary to lay down our lives for the man or woman next to us in the fight, as well as our families, unit and country. The label 'Non-UK' fails to acknowledge our sacrifices and contributions throughout history, erases the rich heritage and camaraderie shared among British, Commonwealth, and Allied forces, and reduces the importance of feeling like we belong to the country we serve and have sacrificed our lives for. This labelling affects individuals and their families, fostering a sense of isolation and detachment from our heritage and service. If you haven't signed it yet, you can do so by visiting: https://chng.it/zgybrNWcsB This will hugely help with the ongoing work being done in the background to right this wrong. Thank you. #Gurkhas #Commonwealth #OPBELONGING #military #britisharmy

Absolutely, military families play a crucial role in supporting their loved ones in service. Their #strength, #resilience, and #sacrifices often go unrecognized but are essential for the well-being of the entire military community. It's wonderful to see their #courage and #commitment celebrated. #militaryfamilies #military #armypeople #devotion #dedication #armypersons #militarylife #militarycommunity #indianarmy #propertiesdekho #realestate #properties #investments

To the men and women of Canada's Armed Forces who have served their nation with distinction in war and in peace. The National Military Cemetery is a national focal point of honour which recognises the men and women of Canada’s Armed Forces who have served their country with distinction in war and in peace. As a national site of recognition, this cemetery is unique within Canada. Preplanning your cemetery arrangements is one of the most thoughtful and considerate gifts you can give to your loved ones, because it relieves the burden of making difficult and expensive decisions at the time of grieving, and lets you set your own legacy. It really means: Sparing your family from making hard decisions at an emotionally stressful time; Lightening additional grief at the time of loss; Ensuring your decisions are informed and thoughtful; Choosing the specific items you want at today’s prices. https://lnkd.in/eug-mUq8 #armedforces #armedforcescommunity #canada #canadianarmedforces #royalcanadiannavy #rcn #royalcanadianairforce #rcaf #canadianarmy

I don’t have the answers, intelligence, analysis. I support #Israel. And: I believe in people speaking up, and us having these conversations. I believe #bringthemhomenow #bringthemhome & have blue ribbons, three, hanging in our front yard. I also don’t again, have all the info, but do believe, well, believe they are looking at the options, and, that speaking up matters, maybe can yield new solutions that help Israelis & Palestinians if we keep the focus there, pressure #Hamas to return the hostages with that? I don’t have all the answers. I don’t think Israel is waging a genocide. And: I think speaking up matters. Want to live in that world, hope this ripples out globally and we stop all the wars. I am #Jewish, do not believe it’s a genocide, support Israel and its right to exist, and, don’t know here, as well, unless you are making those decisions, you wouldn’t have the information, but I believe in us speaking up. I don’t understand why cities are making resolutions; letters, protests, shows of solidarity, yes, and the resolutions, what those mean?, have fear come up when I see people saying we have this resolution without intelligence/what does that mean, as someone who is Jewish, by ancestry. And; I want there to be a way. Want to say that, too. Keep the thought, energy there, of trying, and that Hamas can no longer exist as an organization, given the terror focus, horror. Think about it all the time. I wonder if there could be a pocket created for people to go while tunnels are searched: do not believe in this case that is genocide, though get the fear. Bosnia. ? That wasn’t even a pocket/idea of leaving. Japanese internment - not the same, but have read fears people would turn on each other which, ? Would that have happened? And, here, Gaza, terrorists hiding as civilians, in ambulances. I think about the hostage what I want like a child to be killed for them to get me out or would I want to die? I don’t know and I also know it’s it’s not even about just that it’s not OK ongoing attack. Israel protecting itself, a state doing so - I don’t know but my heart is there, for Israel and Gaza, West Bank, Palestinians. I do t have children, either. Think of, again, I don’t know, but, think caring matters. People caring. Believe in God, energy, consciousness, that that caring, by Israel, Palestine, the world, matters. The rest, people know more. I know energy in my own way, study, feel, we all do. Believe in to 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 heal, yield solutions. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 prayer And asking people if they are Jewish, Muslim, everyone, how they are doing - I know I’ve been feeling a lot emotionally and I read people, energy, and I’m not the only one. Always am not, but it’s felt pretty intense for a while, and this is when we can dig in and say we feel too, vs division, in believing that I don’t know, but am thinking of all. #amyisraelchai and #peace two states 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🇮🇱🇵🇸✌🏻🙏🏻
Bushnell's self-immolation is having a huge ripple effect in the veteran and American military community - a group that can actually change things if they organized. (It's happened before, as I noted weeks ago when the US military revolted after WWII when called to oppose independence in the Philippines). Among the countless others stepping up is: "...Alan Shebaro. I was with the 3rd Special Forces Group. I was with the Commanders in Extremis Force in the B23. I was a sniper, an assaulter, and a breacher. I did three rotations: 2008, 2009, and 2007. I know war. What is going on in Palestine right now is not a war. It is the dehumanization. It's the genocide. It's the ethnic cleansing of a specific people to take their land. This is wrong. And there's nothing more American than speaking out against what's wrong. The US taxpayer is paying for this, which makes it even more frustrating. This needs to stop Whatever you can do, anything, this needs to stop." #gazagenocide #veteransupport #veteranshelpingveterans #veterans #israelpalestineconflict #Gaza #militarylife #military
