    I don't know the case. But, I don't think it's right to replace workers who are claiming better working conditions for soldiers.

    Don't you worry..., me dear Brasileiro...

    Them Engrish soldiers are surely highly qualified and have all the needed certifications to replace them lazy civilian ambulance drivers...

    And..., when arriving to the hospitals they surely will use their high qualifications and certifications to act as hospital porters...

    And..., when inside the hospital they surely will use their high qualifications and certifications to act as nurses and midwifes...

    And..., when things inside the hospitals get a bit rough..., they surely will use their high qualifications and certifications to act as doctors and chirurgs...

    And..., when they are done at the hospitals..., they surely will use their high qualifications and certifications to go drive them buses..., go drive them trains..., go air controll them airports.., go distribute the mail..., go mantain them highways..., go run them nuclear plants... ;-)))

    Capisce...?

    It would be comic if it weren't tragic.

    I wish I could laugh.

    Perhaps they could train the Brazilian military to help out in them Favelas, if they weren’t too busy shooting the inhabitants in the first place.

    First of all, I don't agree with people dying from police shootings.

    Second, I agree even less with the military killing people for malpractice.

    I wish England luck.
