I am a British Serviceman.

I watch Ministers place private perks on public expenses, while I have to deal with LEAN.

I serve the people of the United Kingdom and not President of the United States.

I will always place the Missus first.

I will never accept defeat. I was NOT speeding Corporal, so **** off.

I will never quit. I will however, PVR ASAP.

I will never leave a fallen comrade. I will kick him and tell the drunken sod to get back up.

I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills... Which is more than can be said of my superiors.

I am expected to perform my job with second rate equipment procured at twice it's true value, so the minister has an nice executive job at a defence contractor after he's sacked for sleaze.

I am an expert and I am a professional, but I am not payed like it.

I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy enemies on the whim of a muppet, safely tucked behind a desk 3000 miles away.

I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life. Gas is 3 dollars a gallon.

I am a British Serviceman.
