David Beckham to visit troops in Afghanistan ?

[Hammer]

Ergh ergh ergh , What do you fink ? Can he be of use ? should he take his colouring books and paint by numbers to entertain the troops ?
I am not sure what his presence will achieve ... thoughts ??

[Jay Evans]

Hes a football icon, I'm sure there will be a few fans in the army that will appreciate the visit

[BellatorGero]

Damn right, its dogshit on tour.

When I was there, we just got politicians. Id prefer to have had Beckham than them

[Malcontent]

Is he bringing the missus?

fuck off, the troops that get to see him would fucking love it. what will it achieve? well i bet it will boost morale out there and it gets the troops in the news.

I am not a football fan, but it still would be a good change from the everyday shit that goes along with a operational tour.

[Luke]

i bet Bisping, Hardy or pointin would get a good reception.

I think she would like to be there, she could wear a Burqha and no one would expect her to smile

Beckhams actually ALOT smarter than hes given credit for, he really insn;t this blundering idiot every thinks.

Morale boost would be monsta, id say the majority of squaddies are football fans - something of their interests to take their mind off the day to day routine will be good.

I agree with this, I think Beckham gets a tough rep. He has learned alot of Spanish and some Italian. I'm not a fan of football or of his but you've got to respect what he has achieved in his career
