Have you checked that out per percentage of population? Their 300+ million against our 70 million may have something to do with that, Muppet!

You can't Honestly think I wouldn't have though of that?

But that wasn't the point I was making, I was stating the reason why everyone in the British Army is deployable, purely numbers and adaptability.
In basic training everyone gets it drilled into their heads we have the best Army in the world, and that may be one of the reasons why, if its true of course.

I'm not imposing my view's but merely expressing

Karlos, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

I don't know if he has or not but to quote him from a previous post "I think I had a game called Desert strike(pretty realistic)". So I don't think there is any need to question his knowledge or calibre. The assumption would have to be that for him to say it was 'pretty realistic' he must have experience of some kind.

Or he is just a cunt.

There are a very large number of people who would love to believe that statement. In some cases there are up to 30% personnel non deployable in a unit. You do make some very broad brush assumptions in your posts.

Again your not seeing my point, In an ideal world the whole British Army would be deployable, but due to the sick, lame and lazy thats not the case, what I was saying is every serviceman from a dentist to chef is trained as a basic infantryman, due to numbers and everyone being able to man the walls so to speak.
