Whats all this muslim community crap? I thought community meant people living together. We are supposed to be one community in Great Britain. A British Community. To say muslim, shik or afro carribian, kurdish or even polish community creates division. We have allowed people who do not respect our t...

Joining Exam
What happened to the educational tests you had to take before you joined the Corps? Reading these threads it seems that the test minimum has been reduced to 5%. Poor spelling rotten gramar, terrible sentence construction. A lot of these young guys may be very fit, but it strikes me that their grey m...

I know Albert fairly well and also a couple of Frogs who flog items, there are a few who come over to UK to buy up items to sell. The best guy over there is Dominic who runs the museum under the Basillica of the leaning Virgin, he's a good hand, and has amazing knowledge of the Somme battles. One of...

With the increase in the effectiveness of rounds and ballistics certainly the light afv seems the way to go. Speed, all terrain capability and an effective round, one hit one kill, would be excellent. An apc/afv which offers both protection all terrain mobility and adequate firepower would be a grea...

I never intimated that the attack helicopter would replace the tank, I was saying that the tank has become more vulnerable since its introduction, as for tanks tanks holding ground, that implies a static defence and as almost everyone knows, with one or two exceptions a static defence has not worked...

While tanks will retain a place in most of the worlds armies for many years to come their role will deminish. Compare the tank to the armoured knight, the knight became an expensive anachronism, the prestiege that existed around the knight and the expense associated with that prestiege ensured the d...

We seem to be getting into a whole new boardgame here. As I see it a soldiers duty is to obey legal orders.

Bite the bullet and get on with it. You live in a democracy and the majority of your countrymen voted for Bush. If you dont like it move to somewhere else, like Mexico or Grenada. Its not about who is in charge, it is about wether you love your country or not. Look at us poor Brits, most of us on he...
