Ouch!

The Sun? Isn't that the same rag which apologised for dropping those fake British photos on us? This is rubbish until I see it in another source.

That was The Mirror.

The sub is slighly above it, but still a piece of shit.

Believe it.

That's fucking badass.

[Col. Crackpot]

Aye! An' if the real William Wallace were 'ere, he'd consume the Iraqis with balls of fyre from 'is eyes an' bolts of lightnin' from 'is arse! Go Highlanders!

The sun doesn't even attempt to be a newspaper.

There's always a good quote about it in the series Hellsing too mocking it.

But in this instance, it's right and it's always patriotic.

[HemlockGrey]

Go Scots!

[Admiral Valdemar]

My half-Scots side is happy that they still kick arse.

and this is a good thing? Don't get me wrong, patriotism is all very well, but the Sun is stupidly so. At least the Mirror pretends to report news, the Sun is barely more than a porn mag.

Who buys the Sun for news?

[TheDarkling]

Who buys the Sun for news?

18% of the electorate.

[jegs2]

Absolutely outstanding performance by our esteemed (and deadly) British allies!

[Zac Naloen]

The sun does have news in it... it just has such a slant on it that its no longer truly news..

makes for fun reading at work



Oh and those Scots = HARDCORE!!!

[Master of Ossus]

How is that possible? That's impressive, though. I hope they hand out medals by the bucket for people involved in that battle.

[EmperorChrostas the Cruel]

For the Queen, and the honor of the regiment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OOOH RAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To busy kicking ass to take a single fucking name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




(I'm American even)

[Chardok]

I wonder if propaganda will be spread about the scots now? I seem to recall during Gulf war I propaganda had many Iraqi soldiers convinced we were demons from hell or somesuch nonsense, that it was futile to fight us, because we would effectively damn them for all eternity with but a glance...


anyway, Bayonet battles, as I understand it are brutal and savage, In the U.S. army, I was always told that the command Fix Bayonets translated into 53 other languages directly as "Kiss your ass goodbye" Good for the scots. I fully support allowing blue facepaint now.

It's not pretty, since you're going up close and personal against another human being, and you're both trying to kill each other in any way possible, unlike a firefight, where you only have a fleeting view of a human figure.

It's good to see that the "Thin Red Line" hasn't lost its influence...

[Sharp-kun]

I do hope so.

It may one day reach the stage where they think of us as gods....

[Chardok]

Thin red line.....

[Admiral Valdemar]

Thin red line.....

Given you were in the military I'd expect you'd know this. Ah well, the "Thin Red Line" is the pseudonym for the British army back in the imperial days with the empire in full tilt. The Redcoats were referred to the thin red line that separates England from the rest of the world and holds the peace.

It was also used for a long, dull and frankly completely unrelated Hollywood film about US troops in Japan etc. during WWII which is just as retarded as called Braveheart[/ui] something like The Green Berets instead.

Spot-fucking-on!

Urgh, I knew there would be connections with that piece of shit.

Read the novel version of "The Thin Red Line". It's much better. Much much better.

My dad may have it given he got a bunch of war novel to movie adaptations ages ago after seeing We Were Soldiers. I never got around to those though, he's a slow as hell reader given he does a page a day then spends the rest on crosswords.

The film had some good bits (music mainly), but was otherwise dull as a brick.

Fear the men in skirts?

Good on the Scots for this, though I think we need more tales of Australians kicking ass and ignoring names completely.
