Proof the SAS are thick

[BrilloPad]

Always wanted to do their entrance tests, think I could nail them.

Have you ever tried Paras' 10 - The Ultimate in 10 Mile Endurance Races ?

If I ever meet my brother again I will ask him about the entrance tests. But it is unlikely.

The body camera will become the most important piece of kit. We need to ensure the human rights of the Taliban or ISIS aren't violated in any way.

Don't they all have body-cams now? I think Sgt Blackman and his crew did but maybe doesn't apply to SAS?

It was 2003, I don't think the technology was as compact at that stage... plus this is the British Military, we cant afford to give our troops proper basic equipment never mind a state of the art camera

It wasn't him it was his mates that did it.

The ghost writer got the wrong end of the stick.

So he owns up to committing a crime? And instead of saying he was exaggerating, he says he will go to court. Wow!

My brother once told the story of how he turned down the SAS. On day 17 of a one month selection, he remembered that in his 1st year of being an officer in 1para he was treated like dirt. After that he had an easy life. And could not face another year of being treated like dirt.

My sister pointed out just after that story he was transferred to NATO for 2 years. Which could have been a SAS posting. But he can't say.

No-one is supposed to admit to being in the SAS. More proof he is a fool.

What a rambling load of balls.


I suspect that whoever began investigating him already had an inkling he was in the SAS.

My current topic of interest at the moment is Bloody Sunday, and the Saville (no Jimmy) report into it, it's amazing how many rules etc there are with the Army and their Rules of Engagement etc, serial numbers of weapons records with who they are allocated to, how many rounds soldiers are used with and how many they fired and returned and checked and balanced.

Commanding officers each have a List of Engagements or some similar name of who fired what from where at who, trajectories etc, and a Yellow Card stating the rules of when to fire, under what circumstances etc, all very good from an accountabilty point of view but doesn't help when soldiers have private rounds (illegal) and just go mental like Lance Corporal F did that day.

Hi, maybe you might like to remember that some (a very small minority) live by something called an honour code.

I used to be like that until I experienced the family courts. And retrospective legislation further puts me off.

My brother always told me that being in the army was about being part of the government PR machine. No honour involved there. Maybe it is just the Ruperts?

There are many jobs I am not qualified for. Fortunately these days one has a choice about if to join the army - unlike in the world wars.

Sort of similar to Sgt Blackman and even Lance Corporal F for his part in the Bloody Sunday massacre in Derry in 1972...

He's not stupid, neither is he prepared to dishonour his name by lying about something that is clearly going to come out if the evidence is looked at in the detail required by and enquiry.

He is asking to be judged on the facts. Facts that for most of us couldn't live with if we had to walk in his shoes.

I'm in the SAS. It's a tulip job but someone's got to do it: https://www.sas.org.uk/
