Was starting a new kind of Tennis Court layout system

he marched up to the top of the hill,
got a blister and had to be airlifted down.

To be fair to him
He did want to go and it kind does make sense that he shouldn't. The big wimp! :)

I read that as
"I wonder if he got the same pile treatment in full metal jacket.." :)

you can't really expect him to go to battle
after every tabliod prints his whereabouts

our press has such a strange self destructing attitude

he joined the army. he's a soilder.
if he dosen't soilder he was a waste of money.

he's a waste of money anyway
he could at least go and waste it somewhere where he might not come back

Nothing compared to some of the other
army wasted costs though...the cost of human lives.

wasted?
you can't have a war without deaths
and compared to 100 years ago, we don't do to bad for casualties these days

Plus, they do sort of warn you before you join...
( The King of Hats The bigger they are, the Hadoken they fall!, Thu 24 May 2007, 16:22, archived)

What you mean like Friendly fire deaths?
Or deaths without the right equipment? that sort of thing not a waste of life then.
( cooler_king http://www.flickr.com/photos/_russ_/, Thu 24 May 2007, 16:23, archived)

name me a nice war then
where no-one died
and everyone had the right equipment

how many men died in the first world war
from disease, lack of medical aid and the fact
that tactics of the day consisted of, ENEMY! CHARGE!

dropping bombs on civilians is more of a waste
if you're in the army, be prepared to be shot at

and the tabloids telling the enemy where our "prince" will be stationed
is not a good idea, for as much as he's no better
than the common man, to the enemy his death is worth
a thousand regular troops

I'm sure there was only two casualties in the War of the Roses.
But I think it may also have signified the death of Danny De Vito's career.

He might have
at some point in his life. I don't follow him round all the time.
