In an earlier age, sailors and marines of Her Majesty’s armed forces would have fought to the last man and chosen death before dishonor, rather than to bring such disdain and stain to the United Kingdom.
How is it that such de-evolution has occurred that allows soldiers to rationalize that it is more important to do anything and everything to preserve their own lives, instead of fighting to the death in defense of their honor, their fellow soldiers, and their Nation?
This sad spectacle bodes nothing good for Britain, Sir Winston will see from on high his words again come true, ‘you have chosen dishonor over war. you shall have both.’
The sun isn’t setting, it’s already nighttime for the U.K.
God Save the Queen.

God Save the Queen.

These characteristics now belong to the Al Quaeda and Islamist soldiers, like it or not.

If what you say is true.. Then not only has Americas schools dumbed America down greatly the dumbing down has been all over the western countrys.. For it appears that "the People" don't even know this has happened.. Charlotte Iserby's book "The Dumbing down of America" is true on a wider sense..
