military beastings

[ethariel]

Ex Forces here too (ok ex RAF i must admit - and no it's not 5 star hotels! they usually start out as 3 stars but have to be brought up to scratch!!) but seriously...

Beasting always was and still is (even tho its a really patheticaly small shadow of it's former self) part of the way of life of being in the forces.

From a personal point of viewe, i would be 10000000% happier serving with a bunch of lads (or lasses) that manage to shrug off a bit of verbal and the odd physical 'roughing up' than with a lot of lip trembeling liberals who consider being shouted at for messing up enough to get not just him but all his mates dead too! to be against his human rights.

If you cant hack a bit of name calling from someone who wont actually do any lasting harm to you (as its not the done thing and has'nt since Bootnecks got thier name) then what use are you going to be in a forigen country where its not just names being tossed at you.

Just my personal opinion and willing to be flamed to death for it.

(Afterall i have been 'forced' into taking part in some really deviant activites - Being trained to kill, learning when to 'shut the F*** up!, and to listen to my betters AND when to question whether the ar$e with rings on his sleeve really should call a W.O.1 a jumped up old fart.......and the dance of the flaming ar$eholes for those tho know!)
