What part? I suppose this is the crux of the matter.
You're not gonna find any crabs, monkeys, wedges, posties, scaleys or scab lifters who joined the army to kill people. Speak to most frontline squaddies though and I think you'll find a stark difference in their reasons for joining!
Agree with the front line comment sort of....................but not all on your list are thorough bred shiny arses sitting in the rear with the gear & I know you are in no way belittling any other branch/regiment/arm of our forces or their members;
Crabs well that depends on if they are rock apes & believe me some of them are are worth their weight in gold & do not just sit looking after airfields.
Scabbers, hmmm agreed maybe not up for running & gunning but they are more often than not on footsies these days as part of the brick/team patrol & lets not forget the MERT, so some of them are just as much in the danger line.
Wedges...................oooooooh you've not met 9 sqn members then, then there is Felix?
Scaley backs...........met some very interesting ones , Special op Bty & SRR to name a couple (mad as a box of frogs some of them)
But you are right Damien, once you've trained for it you want to actually do it for real at some point instead of slinging rounds at a Fig11 or shells across Hohne.
And lets not forget every one is trained first & foremost as a basic infantry man/woman, even tankers :icon12:
As for going to war, get real we are already at war with Russia....it's called an economic war & going by the way Putin is acting I'd guess it's a war Obama is currently winning.
