Don't pick a fight with a squaddie

[MyUserName]

Not just squaddies; a couple of well known figures in the England rugby set-up have had this problem, and of course when a 6'7" 18 stone ultra-fit athlete eventually loses his patience it's obvious who's going to get the blame for the chav lying on the ground with a broken jaw.

At the risk of derailing the thread, I have to ask - are you sure that has literally happened? I mean, who in the work of monkey f*****g madness would deliberately pick a fight with an international rugby player - let alone a forward!!!!???!!!

Back on topic. My brother came out after 22 years and mentioned how the army as changed. It used to be a case of you are a soldier so man up. Now it is a case of pandering to the whiners - one of the reasons he came out.

Do you any real evidence for that?

Yes, I will get some hard evidence, the army both in the USA and UK have been giving out video games to potential new recruits.

You only have to look at CUK to see how well adjusted those those with armed forces history are.

Yes, absolutely certain; it happened to Courtney Lawes last year and has happened to a couple of others I know personally.

And yes, 'who in the work of monkey f*****g madness would deliberately pick a fight with an international rugby player - let alone a forward'. Answer; a tanked up chav that wants to show off how 'ard' he is.

My brother mentioned how a lot of officers used, essentially, video games to train for scenarios etc.

Fair enough and it doesn't seem to me to be a very clever thing to do.

Anyone that would use CUK as a benchmark for anything even remotely related to behavioural analysis would most likely be the sort of deluded cretin that believed in imaginary friends though............

And we all know just how much derision would be poured upon their input, don't we?

You're talking about Sas and MF right? They imagine they have friends.

Ah, but this is for people who are in training, not for 'potential new recruits'. Paired up with the physical training and the psychological and disciplinary aspects of good military training, it's perhaps very useful, but encouraging halfwit chavs to use this is a different matter.
