A regimental officer committing suicide because his men didn't like him.

Except that was NOT the reason he committed suicide. He committed suicide because he saw himself as compromising his integrity by letting Jocko off on charges of hitting an enlisted man.

The Moors are "Clever & Devious;" They wish to "Create a Belief" among us, that we are "At Peace!!"

IN FACT,--WE ARE AT WAR!!

Our Problem Is, We--In the West--are NOT YET AWARE of our Peril!!

SADLY, Those of us who have enjoyed the "Peace & Prosperity" of our Western Culture, Are NOW REQUIRED TO FACE the BARBARISM of "ISLAM!!"

FEW "Westerners" are "Equipped to" Understand or Comprehend or "Deal With" the BARBARISM of "Islam!!"

Most of Us CANNOT COMPREHEND the "EVIL" we Now Face; We ARE, Sadly, "Babes-in-the-Woods!!"--Our "Leaders" are Mostly Trained by "Chivalry, & Christian Concepts of 'Conflict!!'"

Our Current "Opponents" are of a "Different Stripe."

We NOW FACE 12th Century PSYCHOPATHS!!

We NO LONGER have the "Luxury" of "Capturing & Converting" our Foes; we must KILL THESE VERMIN, or they will Kill Us!!

Despite our "Better Instincts," we are in a TERMINAL BATTLE for Survival!!

OK! You win. It's a great movie. At least the pipers in it can do justice to "The Black Bear".

Yes, but not in years. Is the VHS available?

Maybe you looked at this movie from a bagpiping perspective. From a dramatic perspective it was INCREDIBLE. You just don't get those types of performances nowadays. BTW, a big viewing of Tunes of Glory would probably do more than anything else to save those Scottish regiments. Especially the speech by the John Mills character about how much that regiment meant to him.

Although there appears to be a body of opinion within the Army that Gen Jackson's proposals are on the right lines, anyone wishing to take action can lobby their MP or MSP through the Save Our Scottish Regiments Website, - www.blae.net/sosr

It has also been suggested that old soldiers like myself should not get involved in the army's restructuring consultations, but should leave it to those currently serving. But as a taxpayer...
