philamac said:Yes, being obsessed about guns 'n' ammo in the UK does happily seem to be viewed with some suspicion generally.In fairness to him I think Clarkson is trying to do his bit for the armed forces and I heard he does help out some charities which provide assistance to injured soldiers and their families.
Top Gear's typical viewer will include impressionable young men that are perfect recruitment fodder for the army. If he really want's to support soldiers then he should stop encouraging them to sign up by playing games with military hardware on prime time TV.
My real objection is that he may believe he is supporting "our boys" by giving them a platform, he's actually doing the opposite and his charity work is just confirmation that actually he is as guilty as hell and he knows it.
