I wish I could join the British army, they have cooler looking desert camo and better tanks. Of course I heard the soldier no longer get their daily ration of rum, so that does cast a pall over the whole idea.

Well done Brits!!!

Hooray for the boys. However, I could do without the pipes.

Desert Camoflauge Bagpipes...Cool!

Nice to see the Scottish Highlanders in there...they have jumbo gnads...playing the pipes into battle even to this day...too bad they don't still where the kilt.

Biggest since El Alamein...wow...

A cheery "well done" to the sons of St. Andrew!

Even the bagpipe is in desert cammo, talk about attention to detail.

Opening blow...A Scot Dragon guard marks thestart of military action

I'll never forget seeing the movie-portrayal of the bagpipe story in "The Longest Day".
I bet I was bearly five years old when my father took me to the movie...

Mr Millin was 21, and the personal piper to Lord Lovat, when he was ordered to ignore
Army rules banning the playing of pipes in battle. German prisoners said later
that they called him the "mad piper" and that their snipers had ignored him.

Mr Millin said: "Afterwards Lord Lovat said I was going to be the greatest hero in
the history of warfare. He said to me, 'You were a true Scotsman when you led the
greatest invasion in history'."

Other bagpipe stuff:

Q: What do you call a man who can play the bagpipes...and doesn't?
A: A gentleman

Aside from large concert organs, my humble opinion is that the bagpipes are just
about the coolest instrument invented before the synthesizer and the melotron (sp?)
were first built.
