Is he North Kent or South London (accent), the accent changed since '45 and I cant place it. Thanks in advance. If you have a bio link please post it, i couldn't find a definitive one.
I have to admire what these men did, and I have to question what the reward was for what they did. When the war ended they returned home to a country in a shambles and in debt, never to be again the country they fought for. So sad !
@@AmazinglyGayPhil what? What are you dedrateR? His accent is thick I couldn’t understand him either, subtitles would be nice so I can understand the story he’s telling.
It would be stupid to kick out the skeptical guy with the supposed “broken arm” for “having no faith in the training.” If anything, his prove-it-to-me style of thinking is what lead to the UFC, mixed martial arts, and modern military combat systems.
+Stroop It's likely because of how he responded after the fact, studdering and such. But in the end, the soldiers in such an elite unit need to have 100% confidence in what they're doing. Hesitation in the battlefield for such risky or important operations can be detrimental. It's all about the mindset and attitude of person they're looking for, and that guy didn't possess it.
old comment but the thing is you can't have a prove-it-to-me attitude as a soldier. even if the training weren't effective, you need your soldiers to fully believe that when you teach them 'x does y' that x really does y. that faith in the training carries into confidence, and deters second guessing or uncertainty which are the biggest impediments to successful action.
Maybe so, but not in an elite military organisation in a time of national crisis. He got his arm broken for being an idiot. Martial arts and UFC etc have rarely fared well on the modern battlefield - its all about being part of a team and individuals are a risk to themselves and their colleagues.
The UFC ain't real fighting because there's: Rules Referees Doctors present Soft and stable surface to fight on Thousands of witnesses People who compare UFC to a street fight have never been in a street fight.

Yet you remain an anonymous coward.
Chalk and cheese.
Thank you for your service, Sir.

Richard Todd, the English actor was a para that jumped and held Pegasus Bridge. Just as a point of interest.
He later had the role of major John Howard in 'The longest day ' and had to meet another actor playing himself on 'Pegasus Bridge'
