In the Army Now - The joy of the Armed ForcesI've never been a soldier. I was an air cadet once, but that mostly involved sitting in a mouldy hut learning about aeroplane engines with the hint that one day we might go flying.
Yet, anyone who has spent time defending their nation, or at least drinking bromide-laced-tea for their nation, must have stories to tell. Tell them now.

My great-unclewas one of the guys that liberated Belsen.
He was murdered in 1946 by Jewish terrorists in Palestine.
I've never been in the forces, but I work with them on a regular basis. My first tour in the Falklands, the RIC (Roulement Infantry Company) were the Anglians. They'd caused so much hassle that even their sergeants were confined to their rooms, an armed MP at either end of their accommodation corridor.
At the moment it's the Jocks, they've smeared shit over doors inside the sgts' and officers' messes so it's obviously not the lower ranking squaddies that did that, they've also caused enough drunken brawls to get spirits banned from the Naafi bars, and worse no-one's allowed to buy bottles of spirits as take-outs from the sgts' or officers' messes.
Cheers cunts.
