    Of course it wouldnt fly lol but thats just the old Britain peeking through. The whole "Your Army needs your compassion/self belief" is a load of modern good feels tripe but it is at least still pretty British. Unfortunately the old posters of Lord Kitchener wouldnt work as well as they once did. Lovely as they are.

    I kept waiting for John Cleese to say 'and now for something completely different..'
    Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President... - Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln and Free Speech, Metropolitan Magazine, Volume 47, Number 6, May 1918.

    Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee

    It's obviously racist. There wasn't an appeal for the gen z jihadi itching to waste someone.

    Dont forget this little gem. No wonder no one wants to join the British Army, blue on blue waiting to happen.

    Why are "Class Clowns" being lumped in with all those other losers?

    Luckily, I'm not British. And if I were, I'd join Section 20

    In the past, the Royal Marines have gone with less-PC ads:

    Just to clarify here. Are you trying to say that a Muslim in a unit is in danger of being killed by his own people because he is Muslim?
    Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly; the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly.
