Oh, and my brother was also in the Corps — more than 20 years in the infantry, both Gulf Wars, Panama, etc. And he has always said the best soldiers in the world he has ever met, even better than the US Marines because they are such a small unit, and the smaller the unit the more highly trained they can be, is the Royal Marines. I am dying to know how many of these 15 were Royal Marines, and am PRAYING that it’s the 3 who aren’t smiling like trained monkeys. BTW — remember when Jesse Jackson got our guys out of Bosnia?? Kosovo?? how they came across the border singing and holding hands? Or was it just holding hands? Unbelievable.
I think things have changed so much in the UK that this is to be expected. The British people have for the most part given up God & Country. It seems there is nothing precious enough to them to fight for. Look at the polls. I fear we are headed down the same path.
