It was #ArmedForcesDay on Saturday, and we have some THOUGHTS 🗣️
Carmen went to Falmouth to meet up with Quakers in Britain, CAAT, and ForcesWatch to protest #everydaymilitarism and share why #ArmedForcesDay sucks
Prydain yw'r unig wlad yng Ngorllewin Ewrop sy'n recriwtio plant dan 18 oed i'r fyddin.
Rydyn yn parhau i wthio ar Lywodraeth i newid y polisi yma.

This is what #EverydayMilitarism looks like. Preparing the ground for a war which the public don't want and the world doesn't need.
Preparing for war makes it more not less likely.

Primary school children lined up to sit in Typhoon fighter jet & tank. Some held the anti-tank weapon (left side of table) on their shoulder #EverydayMilitarism
Nuclear weapons are not safe in anybody's hands. They are a danger to us all. Every nuclear weapon is a threat not to one country or another, but to every human being and other life on Earth.

In the last few days, conscription has turned from a distant memory into a policy position pushed by militarists & right-wing commentators

Britain doesn't 'need' a bigger army to fight Russia. A war between nuclear-armed powers could be over in days or hours, regardless of troop numbers. We need to be doing all we can to prevent it, not to prepare for it.

More #EverydayMilitarism won't make us safe. The last thing Britain needs is a #CitizenArmy . It's ludicrous to prepare for war with Russia: a war between nuclear-armed powers could be over in days, or hours. Let's prepare to *resist* war!

Kieron Moyles Peace Pledge Union Fun Kids Radio Urgh, this is unspeakably grim. #EverydayMilitarism at its absolute worst.
Cardiff Council Would it not be possible to celebrate women, promote team-building and STEM without having to involve the military? This is #EverydayMilitarism in action.
