POLL - Should the UK monarchy now be abolished ? Y/N - all ATS members please contribute

Stumason is spot on. Capt Wales' career progression is just about right given his length of service. He has served in the role of JTAC which is most definitely NOT a rear echelon or training job, as well as am AH64 pilot. These are battle winning roles and extremely demanding and the word on the street is that he's actually quite good at them. They aren't just given as good boy jobs because of who your mum is.

As for the monarchy? I say keep them. We receive more land tax from them than if it belonged to industry or development, which pretty much balances up the books with regards to what they cost to maintain.

Yes, absolutely.

They are nothing more than a leech on society. And an excuse for social stratification.

And for those of you who fear loss of "national identity".... Well, that's just an illusion to begin with, so you're not really loosing anything at all. If anything, you're gaining individual identity through the break down of social barriers perpetuated by the ROYALS.

Yes
