5.0 out of 5 stars Please Read, 26 Oct 2008
By M. Dowden (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Whatever you feel about our conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, please forget about it at the moment. People join the army, navy and air force and once they are in they go wherever they are sent. I don't care what you think about armed aggression, these people don't have a choice - as it has always been. Whether those members sent to places think that we should or shouldn't be there is irrelevant, because they get on with the job they have been sent to do, whether this is a conflict, peace keeping or relief aid, they are always there. If any of our emergency services go on strike, they have to do the job, if you are lost at sea, they will come to look for you.

With our recent conflicts there has been animosity shown towards our servicemen, but they are only doing their jobs, like most normal people. Unless you are severely suicidal you don't go out to get killed, you also hope that you won't get maimed. These people have to share the brunt of it, and desperately need our help. We are always generous at giving for foreign aid, so it's about time we gave closer to home. There are servicemen and women who have been severely traumatised, both mentally and physically, and it is about time that we as a nation show we are proud of their achievements and are ready to offer aid and support. So please, please buy this single.

5.0 out of 5 stars X Factor, 7 Nov 2008
By Shaya (Wales) - See all my reviews
  
Oh wow, goose bumps or what?
I howled my eyes out when I watched this on X Factor. It literally moved me to tears and what a wonderful cause!
I used to write to a soldier in Northern Ireland many moons ago so have an insight into what they go through on a daily basis. Brilliant job I admire you all very much!
Fingers crossed this single stays at Number 1!
I love it; all the finalists have such great voices.
