Ended up having it on his toes (apparently couldn't go anywhere near France/French territory afterwards) and last I heard he was doing armed security and protection work in the middle east.
He soon would have realised that he went from elite to two bob...

I mean if you were a really shit soldier and an absolute cսnt to boot.
It takes a lot of effort on the cunts part.
Remember...all seek refuge in the main...so play the game...
They're overrated imo...
Mythical legend.

They were hardcore after WW2 when their ranks were filled with    waffen SS  looking for sanctuary

When I'm in Thailand, one of my drinking partners is a fucking obnoxious, miserable (Living the dream)  Man U fan, despite never actually ever seen them play live.

If football is under discussion he won't even admit other teams exist and tries to drive every conversation towards Man U. (much like MSM, really).

However, he did 3 tours of Belfast during "The Troubles", so gets a free pass from me
There's nothing wrong with real soldiers it's the posters on here who are pretend soldiers who would probbaly wet themselves under fire. Ok I'm no soldier but in the early 80s I did enough fighting mostly away games to know I stood my ground, Most on here woulld be on their toes .

A geezer walks into an East End pub and says to the barman,“Can I have a pint of lager? And tell me—where are all the fucking Arabs? I hate fucking Arabs. I’ll fight them in the nude.” The barman gives him his pint and says,“There’s no fucking Arabs around here, mate. You need to join the French Foreign Legion — they fight the Arabs.” So he takes a swig of his pint and says,“Well, I fucking hate the Arabs. I’ll fight them in the nude. I fucking hate them. I’m gonna join.” He goes off and joins the French Foreign Legion. During the interview, the lieutenant says to him,“Why do you want to join the French Foreign Legion?” Before he gets the last word out, our mate interjects,“’Cause I hate the fucking Arabs. I fucking hate them. I’ll fight ’em in the fucking nude.” The French lieutenant replies,“Very commendable. You can start your training.” After two days, he walks up to the French lieutenant, shows him his wooden rifle and says,“What the fuck am I doing with this? I wanna fucking kill the Arabs! I fucking hate them. I’ll fight ’em in the fucking nude!” The French lieutenant says,“Don’t worry. After your training, you can have a proper rifle.” Six months later, at the passing out parade, the lieutenant walks up to the first guy:“Soldier, why did you join the French Foreign Legion?” The guy replies,“Well, I had an affair behind the missus’s back, got caught out, so I thought I’d come over here, join the Legion and help out.” The French lieutenant says,“Very commendable. Here is your weapon.” He walks up to the second guy:“Soldier, why did you join the French Foreign Legion?” “Well, I’d done a bit of robbery and that back home, realised I was gonna get caught, so I thought I’d come out here and fight the Arabs.” “Very commendable. Here is your weapon.” He walks up to our mate:“Soldier—” Before he gets a chance to finish,“You know why I fucking joined the French Foreign Legion—’cause I hate the fucking Arabs! I wanna fucking kill them all. Fight them in the nude, me.” “Very commendable. Here is your weapon.” At that very moment, a soldier in the parapet shouts,“The Arabs are coming!” Our mate turns around and shoots the guy in the parapet—stone dead. The lieutenant shouts,“Soldier! Why did you do that? He was one of our own men!” Our mate says,“Well, if there’s one thing I can’t stand more than an Arab—it’s a fucking grass.”
