What's the guy fighting for if his comrades despise him?

Is that how you served then? It would certainly fit in with your "talents".

Old smeg wouldn't get in an 'elite unit' like the catering corp but someone has to lick clean the latrines.They don't call him Mr Slurpy for nothing

It doen't surprise me, a few bad eggs and all that. Specifically the ones who can claim Racism and take the MoD to court. Where there's brass there's usually a couple of our ethnic brethren trying to get their grasping hands on it.

I hasten to add that my views are my own.

not just your view, by all accounts. Seems your views and those of your fellow servicemen (ex or otherwise) are similar.

You are slow! QED.

It's a shame because the Army, at least, has an admirable equal opportunities record in recruiting cretins into spud bashing functions.
