Two different eras with two different armies. I do not hink we can make a good comparison. And comments like:Originally posted by sasguru View Post
He says, "The whole point of being in the Army is wanting to get killed, wanting to test yourself to the limits. Now you have to fly 15,000 feet above the war zone to avoid getting hit.
"I don't think there is any point in having wars if that's how you're going to behave. It's pathetic. All this whining!"
Make me want to give him a damn good slap. Our soldiers get scant respect now, without this jumped up doughnut puncher adding his comments."If you can read this, thank a teacher....and since it's in English, thank a soldier"Comment

He's not all bad:
"I'm totally off the States now. The reaction to 9/11 and then George Bush - really, they've got very blobby as a nation. Now they are whiny victims whose language is entirely taken from two TV shows - Friends and Sex And The City - and there's nothing sexy about them any more".Comment

"The star compares modern day soldiers to old fashioned recruits, insisting British fighters in Iraq and Afghanistan constantly "whine" about facing the risk of death."
I think they complain about lack of proper kit and poor money (paid less than traffic warden). If they could complain about being an arm of the liebour spin machine they would do too.
Risk of death they seem happy with.Comment
