An RSM's nightmare. Too lippy by half.
Yeah, that was bad - even by my standards.We need people who look to the stars, holding the nation and the world in their hearts but at the same time we need down-to-earth people who can do serious and trying work.
In a definite sense, a country's power and prestige isn't only a reflection of its economic power but also a reflection of its people's quality and morality. Moreover, I think the latter is actually more important in the long-term.

Yes, I imagine the RSM will be having a word or two in his shell-like.

On another thread, I posted this extract from the Manual of Military Law 1914 (Sixth Edition, Price Two Shillings):
-------------------------
Army Act 1914
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ch XIV (The Laws And Usages Of War)
Section III - the Armed Forces Of The Belligerents
Sub-section (v.) Coloured Troops
36. Troops formed of coloured individuals belonging to savage tribes and barbarous races should not be employed in a war between civilized States. The enrolling, however, of individuals belonging to civilized coloured races and the employment of whole regiments of disciplined coloured soldiers (a) is not forbidden.
========
(a) E.g. such troops as the Indian Army, the African troops of the French Army and the Negro regiments of the United States Army
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good to know that things have moved along since those days, and that such outlandish attitudes have become demonstrably outmodedSummer grasses - all that is left of the dreams of soldiers
