The actor Rupert Everett has this take on the modern British soldier (emphasis added):The whole point of being in the Army is wanting to get killed, wanting to test yourself to the limits. Now you have to fly 15,000 feet above the war zone to avoid getting hit.Looks like someone isn't going on the ENSA tour.
I don't think there is any point in having wars if that's how you're going to behave. It's pathetic. All this whining!
Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
Wait; I thought the point of being in the Army is wanting to kill the [i]other people[/i]. Someone should tell him.
