SAS unit, diplomat 'held' by Libya rebelsOkay. Someone tell me having gays openly serving in the military or woman in combat arms units doesn't eventually affect the entire structure.
This would never happen to the SAS 20 years ago, NEVER!
an aside: Maybe two years ago I caught a program on the Military Channel about the UK's Royal Marines. Once, as good as ours (maybe). But NOW, the DI's have to 'be nice' to recruits during training, and if the recruits still don't 'like it', they can quit!
England is DOOMED!
The Royal Marines are supposed to be a highly-trained and motivated light infantry commando force. I would have thought that forcing people who don't want to be there to stay is not really the point if you are trying to find the kind of people who won't quit when the going gets tough, even when they are given the option of an easy way out...
The USMC on average train 11 wks, then further training.
The Royal Marines train for 32 wks, then further training. All Royal Marines are both elite light infantry and commandos.
Your Marines are good, but I will take a RM anyday.
