Although.......I gotta say sending the 835 soldiers of the Black Watch to protect the 135,000 American soldiers in question......well it's kinda overkill don'tcha think?

It's alright yanks, you guys can get some sleep now, the Brits are here. Don't worry, nothing's gonna disturb you lads now, sleep well. Yes, ok, we'll leave the light on. Aw ok, you can have your comfort blankets. Yes and the teddy bear. What? Another glass of water? Jeez.

Ahem.

The British government have also released the following statement to the families of the soldiers of the Black Watch:

"It is true that sending the Black Watch further north will increase the danger they may be in but that's only due to them being within rifle shot range of the American troops."

ok, I'm done making jokes now in my attempt at not letting this thread get all political.

~~Yanks.~~

My favorite British Sergeant Major was the guy in "Zulu". Love that movie.

We need those guys.

I prefer the 'Carry On' version where they lifted their kilts and all the baddies ran away!

Luckily, being European they also have brains, so perhaps an improvement in the situation can be achieved.

More anti american gibberish from an envious assshole

I liked the Monty Python SM,

SM: "Is there anything you'd RATHER be doing that marching up and down the square?"

Private: "Reading a book?"

SM: "RIGHT off you go then".

LOL! Guy round the corner from us is a colonel in the army. He went to Basra for 3 days and got shot at and rpg'd on each day.

But he didn't make a fuss about it

Well, you do have a rather good saying,

Here's another: plow you, you salamander.

I have no idea why Skuzzy tolerates your existence. As long as he does, I guess it's ok for me to behave in kind.

Ravells, he's a brave lad. I don't consider myself a coward but I'm certain that I'd be pretty damned scared if I got shot at..... especially the first time or 10.

I'll be happy when the first one of these Europeans make it to this Board...

Actually, you began this mess.. so how could you be responding?

BTW, not sure you are referring to me. I'm not anti European. I do not approve of the actions of the French, German, and Spanish Govt's in regards to Iraq....if you consider that anti European... well you got me then.
