DSEI - my view

An opinion on the DSEI exhibition

I have noticed a couple of recent contributions here concerning the DSEI exhibition that's running in September. I didn't know much about it so I did a web search. I am amazed to see how open they are with all their information, I expected a shadowy organisation working from a PO Box with no details of who would be attending instead they publish their full details with contact email and telephone number and a detailed list of all those exhibiting.

I also noticed how those who are objecting to the event are the opposite, a website "calling" for things but no names, contact details or even an address.

It also seems to me that armies, the police etc need to buy equipment so why shouldn't those companies who sell it have a place to exhibit ?

Obviously this post of mine will attract a critical response but perhaps before you flame me you might consider what your life would be like if we didn't have our soldiers to protect us
