Military analyst Jack Jacobs says everything there is to say about the big British cry babies whose names ought to become synonymous with dishonor and disgrace. Okay, perhaps the tyranny of political correctness prevents him from pointing out how repulsive was the specter of the tubby, unfit female sailor, fretfully sucking on a fag, while reporters told of her baby back home. As though being in the military and waging war all over the world entitles one to job security.
If you venture into a tough neighborhood like the Middle East, your best bet is to leave the women behind, and that goes for women with the Y chromosome as well. Her fellow male sailors were no better than she.
Readers will respond, “Don’t speak until you’ve walked in the sailors’ timid shoes.” Tummy rot! I’m not a trained solider, don’t profess to be, am not paid to be.
These Brits developed minute-made Stockholm syndrome.
And now the creeps will be cashing in on their cowardice; the British military has given them the go ahead to sell their snivels to the tabloids.
Update: In response to Mike Gooding’s letter hereunder: I almost always publish polite disagreement. (Letters that distort my positions, however, are never published.) Still, friendship doesn’t imply blind, slavish loyalty. I must say, I thought Americans acted cheaply and spoke atrocious English. After watching the British captives, I realized they take the cake. The American marines and other top-echelon servicemen (even women) are impressive. Of course, one doesn’t wish to generalize. But, this British bunch was especially unimpressive in conduct, carriage, and demeanor. That they’ve been let loose on the public instead of being hidden somewhere is a big mistake.
Over to Jack Jacobs, retired U.S. Army colonel, who knows a thing or two about bravery. This is not IT, he writes in “British Sailors’ Conduct Was A Disgrace.”
