No offence intended, just reacting to the original comments which I consider to be quite simply wrong. You do realise that by master-race I am referring to aircrew (as you assert to be in your profile) rather than commissioned officer (which your aggressive reaction implies you are not)? Therefore, I hoped that as aircrew you might be more inclined to the RAF's effort to enjoy dets rather than certain army units' efforts to make them miserable. Like I said at the beginning I hold the British Army in high regard and have particular respect for the infantry on our current ops. AH are also doing a fine job looking after SH who are looking after infantry.
I am not the type to publicly sh1t sling a) because it's as inappropriate as the original newspaper comments and b) because I actually have a great respect for the British Army. You clearly think that the reported comments are appropriate and that life should be deadly serious at all times. I disagree on both counts so let's just leave it at that. I shall enjoy my Christmas, be with people I like, have a laugh, eat a good meal. Hell, I might even put a paper hat on my head. If you prefer to dig a shell scrape in the garden, get drizzled on, eat anal blockage biscuits and bleat about everyone else, good luck to you.
We're all on the same side. Merry Christmas.
