    I'd say pot calling a kettle black arsed, but Shaunbhoy's comment had at least some comedy value, your multiple posts have all followed the same uninteresting, illiterate theme.

    I doubt you are as far along the evolutionary path as your avatar.

    His complaint that I should have asked him first when I actually did is what makes me laugh the most. Anyway TV is slow tonight.

    As far as the spelling goes, it is a game around here. Usually, those that pick up on spelling immediately go and screw it up themselves (as I did), making it even funnier. Excuse me while I go and overreact somewhere

    Perhaps "Suppostion" was meant as a portmanteau of suppository and supposition. Perhaps you could take one to relieve the other? Then again it may have been a typo which is different from messing up your apostrophes, which in turn is grammar, not spelling; but we don't have a grammar emote readily available.
    You also spelt multiple incorrectly, dick.

    I've answered this, to imply that I don't understand that a range of people died during the campaign is a stupid and silly thing to say. Had nothing to do with my reason for asking about rank. Next time try and find out why people ask things before coming out with such a stupid and ignorant statement.

    What you would 'expect' from soldiers and generals is far from reality generally, both in military history and particularly with the Falklands landings. You will only realise if you bother to read the mutliple accounts that are available. But don't let reality get in the way of your suppostion eh?

    What would their rank have to do with it? Privates to Lt Cols gave their lives during the campaign.

    I've explained why the opinion of a private carries less weight than a general with me. I expect one to be an expert in using a gun and running the other to be an expert in strategic thinking. Regardless of your opinion of rank, it matters to me. Which is why I asked the question, your response about different ranks all dying was stupid.
