Michael Yon provides gripping proof that not all British Military forces have devolved into simpering whimps. It includes one of his best battle portrait photos yet.
Update:
A few visitors to this blog seem to have missed the point of this article. It may in some way be understandable now that the shameful news about the “simpering whimps” in the Navy has faded from memory. My point with this post was to contrast the eminently professional and steadfast British Army, written of by Yon, with the aforementioned naval capitulation.
Lest anybody think I was picking on the British in general here, I would have used the same language to describe the same behavior on the part of any country, including my own.
To put that in words that even a semi-literate like “para sam” (whose comment was edited for taste, but not for syntax and spelling) might understand, it means “British Army good! Navy not so much!”
Why don’t you fuck off with your back-handed praise.
We don’t need it.

That’s the spirit!
That wasn’t back-handed praise. It was a dig at the apalling behavior of the Navy.
