. ''The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war,no matter how justified,shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation'' --George Washington--

Thursdays Fire Mission
Anti-terror chief quits after blunder You think you have seen it all and then the next almighty blunder happens with this dysfunctional dangerous Government and its Police Chiefs. Imagine if we had morons like this working for us during the second world war, things might have turned out different. The headlines about Bob Quicks resignation makes it look like, he is out of a job, not so, he will just be moved to another position, when the seriousness of this really does warrant dismissal and loss of pension. We have far to many politicians, civil servants and many within the security services with a cavalier attitude to security. I doubt he would have let the whole world see a printout of his expenses?
Wives Strip At WW1 Memorial This is sick, how would they like it if people were having sex on the graves of their relatives? They were probably Belgian!
Faslane Marines take on charity walk Marines just love to Yomp don’t they, well done guys!
Solent shipping puzzle solved HMS Endurance gets a piggy back, lets hope she gets back in service soon.
Combat Buggies Ordered For Afghanistan The sad thing is this isn’t an April fools joke, perhaps they should have called it Cuckoo!
TA heroes recall horrors of war-torn Afghanistan Well done guys, the TA is now a respected force within the military, the days of the weekend warrior are long gone.
US Warship In Standoff With Pirates The use of the term `Pirates` give these type of crimes some sort of justification and glamourisation, when we think of the Hollywood movies about these people. When the reality is they are nothing but murdering thieving scum and should be despatched to Davy Jones locker with a double tap to their temples.
Scum at work above
USAF to fund dual-role missile studies This sounds a mouthful to say.
Veteran tells of discovery of Tirpitz Hubert Powells story is a fascinating story from WW2.
Thursday Joke
Army Voicemail
Thank you for calling the British Army. I’m sorry, but all of our units are out at the moment, or are otherwise engaged. Please leave a message with your country, name of organisation, the region, the specific crisis, and a number at which we can call you. As soon as we have sorted out the Balkans, Iraq, Northern Ireland, Afghanistan. Marching up and down bits of tarmac in London and compulsory Equal Opportunities training, we will return your call.’
‘Please speak after the tone, or if you require more options, please listen to the following numbers:’
‘If your crisis is small, and close to the sea, press 1 for the Royal Marines.’
‘If your concern is distant, with a tropical climate and good hotels, and can be solved by 1 or 2 low risk bombing runs, please press ‘Hash’ for the Royal Air Force. Please note this service is not available after 1630 hrs, or at weekends.’
‘If your enquiry concerns a situation which can be resolved by a bit of grey funnel, bunting, flags and a really good marching band, please write, well in advance, to the First Sea Lord, The Admiralty, Whitehall.’
‘If your enquiry is not urgent, please press 2 for the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps.’
‘If you are in real, hot trouble please press 3, and your call will be routed to Sandline International.’
‘If you are interested in joining the Army and wish to be shouted at, paid little, have premature arthritis, put your wife and family in a condemned hut miles from civilisation, and are prepared to work your ******** off daily, risking your life, in all weathers and terrains, both day and night, whilst watching the Treasury eroding your original terms and conditions of service, then please stay on the line. Your call will shortly be connected to a bitter passed-over Recruiting Sergeant in a grotty shop down by the railway station.’
‘Have a pleasant day, and thank you again for trying to contact the British Army.’

FN Infantry Weapons and Airborne Weapon Systems on Display at LAAD Can I come, I didn’t see much of Brazil last time I was there apart from the airport terminal on my way down to the Falklands in 2007.
Veterans take trip down memory lane Some memories are good.
Priority Homes For Injured Troops I will believe it when I see it, just more Socialist spin.
No thought of military action on N. Korea - UK We have a little matter of a war in Afghanistan to sort out first, let the Koreans fire their silly little rockets!
