    Bren gun better than the Lewis?
    Some days you wake and immediately start to worry. Nothing in particular is wrong, it's just the suspicion that forces are aligning quietly and there will be trouble ahead..... Formally known as Mucus, before I lost the log in....

    Well two days of digging and searching in the general area and we still haven't found the cunting leak. Surely there must be technology more accurate than a grumpy old bloke in a yellow hi-vis coat, wielding a length of dowelling on a thread bobbin and claiming there may be a leak in the generic area known as "under there"?

    Is mechanized warfare a passing fad?

    Is the No4 really better than the SMLE?

    Would the British Army be better off purchasing the Garand from the Yanks?

    I don't like the Army any more. Can I leave early 'cos my Mum needs help around the house? I've been in since 1938 so I've given it a good go. I can easily get a job in civvy street.

    The Air ministry have just placed orders with Vickers for something called a 'Eurofighter' and a 'Merlin' gyro type thing. It will be in service next year.

    Possible thread titles:

    Current Affairs:

    "Why is our kit shite compared to the Jerries" thread would be at least a 3.7 million post count by May 1945.

    "RAF - are they worth it".

    "Royal Navy - are they worth it".

    "Peace in our time - what was Chamberlain thinking"

    NAAFI bar:

    "Can I get my tenner back"

    "Soldiers are brutes - says Miss Chubb"

    QM Stores:

    ".303 or .30 which caliber is best"

    "Sten Gun or Tommy Gun"
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    Being in the army is like being in the Boy Scouts, except that the Boy Scouts have adult supervision.
