    The higher the rank of the officer, the crappier the beret gets. Fact.

    I'm Anglo/Scot/Welsh/German/American, but more than half Welsh. I must be. I was in Wales 11 years ago and I guess I looked too Welsh. I had a bunch of transvestites in Cardiff where I was come up to me and started speaking to me in Welsh! I said "Sorry, I may look Welsh but I don't speak the language." I'm proud of The Welsh Guards and the whole British Army. I love them.

    • @fod1855
      @fod1855 Рік тому +1

      Because an officer is from an upper class background, does not make him a "stuck up toff". If you have the education, sense and wits, there is nothing stopping you from becoming an officer in the army. It's also important that officers fit in and having a separation of background and education from soldiers is no bad thing.

      Mostly they really were stuck up toffs back in those days. Almost exclusively they were toffs in the Infantry and certainly in the Guards. Probably more down to earth in non Infantry units I imagine. Pretty sure it's not nearly as bad as that nowadays.

    The sleeping while on duty issue could do with amplification ie was it they were noticed to have drifted off while having to stare in space at night for two hours after ten hours digging or were they fully snuggled down for the night in gonk bags? The rather tin pot feigned rage from the Major is hard to listen to.

      It's quite clear from what was said that this wasn't a stand alone incident though. The bloke in question had not only got caught sleeping on sentry during operations, he had also been involved In another incident deemed important enough to warrant the CO'S involvement the week before, and serious enough for his Chain Of Command to have to convince the CO to bury it under the carpet, or considerably lessen the punishment.
