Ok, i won't provide any liks, i will not argue, i'll just establish one thing.

The airornes are part of the RAF, our medals are those of the RAF, the SAS is specifically the Special Air Service, it is that way because we are not armor nor are we Seaborne, we are airborne.

We don't have a distinction between Naval air service or air service either, if you are with us, you are airforce, PEROID.

I hope that clears it up, for some there is no hope but for others, this is the way it is.

I left the SAS. Nothing else.

He's part of a secret obese midget squad that's actually specially assigned under the RAF.

How tall are you, i'm just asking since 6'1 is a midget to you you have to be pretty fucking talll.

You can actually watch men on video if you'd like something to jerk off to.

It's legal, even in Iceland................

Just stop jerking off to my pics, it kinda wasn't why i posted them.

So you're establishing something that is incorrect?

I cannot direclty comment on the SAS being part of the RAF, but since the UK uses English, it makes sense that it would be part of the RAF. The A in both stand for Air.

Just came to chime in that while Britain's history is marred with some shitty stuff, I don't think they were as bad as the Spanish. Destroying three entire civilizations, the inquisitions, and all of that other stuff all under the guise of religious dogma. I don't even want to think about what would have happened if the Spanish Armada had won.

Yeah, historically anyway, the Spanish were brutally ruthless while the Brits at least put a conscious effort into maintaining some pretense of civility. As for modern times, Spain only lightly dipped their toes into the conquest of Iraq for a short period, while Brittan has been all in from the start.

Spain withdrew from Iraq after the Madrid bombings. Great message to send to Johnie Jihad.

Is this a joke? The British were absolutely ruthless to their slave-states.

I'm not sure why so many people become a genocidal apologist whenever they talk about the British Empire.

The British Empire was not civil. It had no pretense of civility, except to maybe their settler colonies after they eradicated the native populations. They were ruthless bloodthirsty genocidal psychopaths to most of the world.

No, it seems like you aren't familiar with the meaning of pretense. To elaborate, taking the Americas for example: the Brits made treaties with the existing populations which they honored until they felt the urge to do otherwise, while the Spanish pretty much just said fuck it to any pretense of civility and went all out.

Spaniards, by and large, never wanted any part of the conquest of Iraq to begin with. Their withdraw was a great message of democracy, and the Madrid bombings do nothing to change that.

Stop being a genocide apologist. There is not even any pretense of civility when we're dealing with genocidal maniacs.

It was kowtowing to terrorism, and every Spaniard killed by terrorism for the next 92 years can be attributed to their withdrawal under pressure.

Should never have been involved in the first place, nor should we have been, Georgies glorious adventure in that sphincter of a nation should never have happened.

If the removal of all fighting troops from Assfuckistan along with all air support had never happend the WOT would have been over and done with.

Not that a cocksucking bisexual little twat like you know anything about it though, it's when you remove all forms of testing that you get people like yourself in the armed forces.

And it IS pathetic to watch the likes of you try to cope without your blankie.


Personal attacks and insults made on the basis, implied or real, of one's sexual orientation are not acceptable in P&N.

it looks like our little "SAS specialist" has been banned. however, for the record, it looks like once again JoS was incorrect.

british paratroopers are linked the the british army. http://www.army.mod.uk/infantry/regiments/23304.aspx

the RAF does have a parachute regiment. not to discount the regiments job, but it does not meet the definition of the SAS. http://www.raf.mod.uk/rafregiment/roles/

based on this research i highly doubt the JoS was part of the SAS, an officer, and quite possibly in the military at all. it has been proven that while the RAF does have a parachute regiment, the SAS is part of and reports to the british army. based on "john's" lack of knowledge of the ranks and insignias of the british army it is hard to believe that he was ever an officer. i have known individuals in both the US Army, US Marine Corp, and US Airforce and all have known the rank, insignias, and structure of each service. no proof of service outside of a hazy tattoo with no direct conotations to a military branch have been given. i can still find my grandfathers medals from WWII and my fathers DD214s from his service in vietnam, among other things.

in the end i'm glad his mouth cost him his time here.

I am glad this guy never was my CO. A emotional wreck like him would have been a disaster. Damn shame the people who make it to be in the officer corp (if he was). I would have given my left arm when I was a enlisted kid who looked up to my COs. No honor at all in a public forum, doubly so for one who pimps himself out as military officer demanding respect, kudos mods.

Dang, I leave for a couple of days and I miss a full-scale WaltOfSheffield meltdown. Glad to see he got banned though, his fake soldier act was really insulting to those who have served.

Homework for today people - find an empire that you would call 'civil'. I would be really surprised if any country/empire that got to wield a significant amount of power didn't seriously abuse it.

Ultimately the British Empire committed the only war crime that actually matters. Losing :(
