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.

A friend's motheris quite opposed to women being in combat, and was very upset that the Army recruiters kept calling for her daughter.
Finally, while my friend was politely trying to bow out of "coming into the office to discuss her future" her mother grabbed the phone and screamed:
"We don't live in fucking Israel!"
They left her alone after that.
