Strangely enough with all the almalgamations there have been lately there are some regiments which actually lose the Royal prefix! Take The Rifles for example. They are at present The Devonshire and Dorset Light Infantry, The Light Infantry, The Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Light ...

Re: ,

Depends on what happens. If there is an insurgency like the one that kicked the Ottomans out in 1821 I’ll stay and fight them. If they are just killing folks and there is no reaction and no arms to fight with I’ll think. Anyway my son will be 27 I’ll be almost 67 and everything will depend on...

As did Lieutenant General Sir William Butler , in a quote often (but mistakenly) attributed to Thucycides: "The nation that will insist upon drawing a broad line of demarcation between the fighting man and the thinking man is liable to find its fighting done by fools and its thinking by coward...

Hey Jock, how come the navy is Royal, and the air force is Royal, and the Marines are Royal, but the army is British? I think it is because the British Army (as a national Army) began with Cromwell, during the Commonwealth period -- prior to the restoration of the monarchy. Kevin is correct that ma...

Re: ,

But I do believe that Europe is very, very close to being lost forever! Concur and I see that most if not all Europeans don’t see it coming. If you see the demographics you see that Europe will change. What the EU thinks it’s becoming is far from what I see. I see governments hiding behind a fi...

While living in Germany my wife an I ran into a lady that explained they, as school children, were basically taught to be ashamed of their heritage due, in large part, to what the Nazis did to the Jews. An entire country ashamed of itself. I loved my time in both Italy and Germany and often miss liv...

I can imagine what Hobbit is saying is true (though I can't personally make the comparison from the 70s). I also agree with those that said many, many soldiers are sadly out of shape (or rather that their shape is more round than it should be!). So, allow me to make a Silverback-esque point - it's o...
