    Great, so we can feel better about our military struggling because it's not as bad as some 2nd world minnows country and the husk of the USSR?

    Kind of like how we don't need to worry about the deficit and printing money because Zimbabwe have done the same?

    Oh for fuck's sake.

    Crownimperial,

    I don't think Zemlyak was trying to say that all is well here. He was bringing to our attention something rather amusing about Kazakh paras and the heartening news that Russia's still cack.

    I get that you're angry about Mr Brown and Mr Mandelson. So am I. So are lots of people. That doesn't mean you have to crayon over every bloody post about it.

    No I'm no Whet/sven, Parapauk or any other pinko /labour apologist, I'm just a serving soldier telling you to get a grip. Not everything has to be about those idiots in power.

    Anyway, about those reserve chutes...
