The British Royal Marines are a disgrace - all you poms should hang your head in shame

[Bobs]

Not only were your "brave" lads and a woman (wtf - why's a woman doing
a mans job?) fawning all over that Iranian President Allbadjiggiwiggi
like he was handing out fucking gold nuggets, but now some of them are
selling their story to the press.

What a fucking disgrace. I've lost all respect for the British armed
forces. Which is what President Alltittiejiggi wanted when he asked
your lot to smile, dance, and play puppet for the camera.

In other news, your rugby team sucks. Your country has a shit climate,
and you all have super small balls.

In fact, going by your marines, you lot have no balls at all.

LOL.

Why did the British have inadequate weapons?
Didn't they come from a frigate that should have been standing by with
adequate weapons?
Why wasn't the frigate keeping an eye out for enemy craft arriving?

Water too shallow and by the time the confrontation became obvious
opening fire wouldn't be an option?
Bad rules of engagement which must be changed if the boarding parties

Unless they were too close to Iraq - I think most coastlines are
shallow, for the most part. Probably.

It's off the Shatt al-Arab which is a channel which serves as the
border between Iraq and Iran, there is a shipping channel surrounded
by Shallow mudflats. There's shallow water on both sides of the
channel, difficult water to manouever in for a frigate which is why
the boarding parties use inflatables.

Yeah, reading between the lines, I get the impression that the Navy
didn't want to spend money on an 'air cap', until it was needed. Typical.

Rick you dirty old fag. Im not interested in Niks "firearm" as you

Keep that filthy shit to yourself.

As for me, I actually did think about joining the British navy about
five years back. Of course, this was before I knew that they liked to
meekly surrender. Now Bobs will never join such a rat bag
organisation. When the shit hits the fan, Bobs goes in with his wang

Why not? There's no gagging order on their experiences other than
operational information. Raise a bit of cash for a decent holiday or to
help cover the expense of all your family and friends staying off work
for 3 weeks shitting bricks over the outcome.
It's only the bloody newspapers anyway....

Call me old fashioned, but I despise chequebook journalism in any form.
The public has a right to know what transpires in the public domain and
the media has an obligation to communication that information without
fear or favour, and without it being subject to a grubby auction to
obtain exclusive rights for what should be freely available to all.
Shame on those who sell themselves and double shame on those who pay.

Indeed, especially when they were in inflatables with no protection
and under orders not to fire first! The mistake was the rules of
engagement and the failure to provide adequate protection while the
boarding parties were doing their job, something that the Iranians had
doubtless learned from previous boardings. They should institute
practical rules of engagement or not do the job at all. By which I
mean set up an exclusion zone when boardings are taking place and open
fire on any intruders, as was done in the Falklands.

What a fucking disgrace. I've lost all respect for the British armed

Here's what Andy MacNab said about it but no doubt you know better than him
Bobsy. Pay particualr attention to the word 'fools'.

I am staggered at the armchair "experts" who have the arrogance to criticise
Faye Turney and her 14 colleagues. These fools have piped up to whine and
bitch about the hostages' every decision. Most recently these commentators
are indignant that the Brits are talking to the Press about their ordeal.
Don't they realise that if they remain silent about their treatment then
Ahmadinejad has succeeded in his plan to fool the world? Talking to the
Press is the right of people in the free world. If the MoD banned the group
from talking, details about their capture would drip out from family or
friends. Letting Faye talk was the best way to put a lid on the situation.
It was their decision for her to talk - not hers. Any criticism about
payment received by the group is unfair. I spent today talking to British
troops in Afghanistan. If they don't have a problem with the way Faye and
her colleagues acted - then neither should we.

It was their decision for her to talk - not hers. Any criticism about
payment received by the group is unfair. I spent today talking to British
troops in Afghanistan. If they don't have a problem with the way Faye and
her colleagues acted - then neither should we.

Yeah but all you pommie soap dodgers think the same way, you need
to come to a proper newsgroup to drum some backbone into you.

I am staggered at the armchair "experts" who have the arrogance to criticise
Faye Turney and her 14 colleagues. These fools have piped up to whine and
bitch about the hostages' every decision. Most recently these commentators
are indignant that the Brits are talking to the Press about their ordeal.
Don't they realise that if they remain silent about their treatment then
Ahmadinejad has succeeded in his plan to fool the world? Talking to the
Press is the right of people in the free world. If the MoD banned the group
from talking, details about their capture would drip out from family or
friends. Letting Faye talk was the best way to put a lid on the situation.

And she got her 15,000 pounds for doing so. I didn't think a
serving marine could accept money for doing such a thing.

She's not a jolly, she's a matelot.

I've passed the name MJ McAulay to the Admiralty as one worthy of

to surrender at the start of the Falklands War. Those same Royal
Marines were members of 3 Commando Brigade when it made the

I think it is unprofessional and likely to lead people into getting

to the families of the dead who receive a pittance of a forces pension
to see these people, who basically failed in their job, receive huge
financial inducements to sell their "story" to army dreamers. These
marines should be court marshaled for failing in their situation

Well, I find it all a distraction from the real thing and that was
probably what it was intended to be. If you were to court martial
every serviceman who cocked up there wouldn't be many left I can
assure you. These didn't cock up - you can be sure there's no way
they would cross any border other than if they were sent there. It
just wouldn't happen. You're also ignoring the possibility that this
was all contrived by the Iranians who have done quite well out of it,
and, given that we are talking about people (politicians and civil
servants) who see it as their business to tell the rest of us how to
live, very possibly the Brits as well.

It's an odd decision,sure, and my cynical brain (yes, the same one
that made me draw the conclusion at the time that the Falklands was a
put up job between Galtieri and Thatcher) tells me it's probably hush
money. If - as I heard somewhere - the female gets £100,000 she's

P.S. Who gives a shit who sells their stories to the papers?

I think it is unprofessional and likely to lead people into getting
themselves into situations whereupon they think they can, maybe,
subsequently gain financially. I also think it really is disrespectful
to the families of the dead who receive a pittance of a forces pension
to see these people, who basically failed in their job, receive huge
financial inducements to sell their "story" to army dreamers. These
marines should be court marshaled for failing in their situation
reconnaissance prior to boarding that ship. It wouldn't have happened if
mg or Nik had been there. Or that dickhead Andy McNabTheCashAndRun.

Do you believe all those who have written of war experiences belong in this
category?

You pommie soap dodgers are all out of range in blighty as well.

So?
Bobs probably takes tea with Blair and Bush on a regular basis (at one
point we were convinced on rsru that he was Alastair Campbell) and I
don't like anybody who treats war like it is some kind of political
football. Well, I don't like anybody who is at all pro-war or
discriminative and Bobs - who used to have something to say about
rugby - now only turns up on rsru to spread his vindictive rascist
vitriol. So I shoot first in his case and will continue to do so.
It's not my fault if he chooses to cross-post to all and sundry.
Incidentally, I never voted for any party that supported the invasion
of Iraq and I very quickly got fed up with reading obituaries of
soldiers from my old regiment who had been killed in Iraq. So, no, I
'm not responsible for Blair.
As for insulting you, well the fact that you seem to see the carnage
in Iraq as somehow relative to sheep husbandry in New Zealand
indicates that I really don't need to. You are an insult to
yourself. Oh, and to the memory of your rather braver countrymen who
were sacrificed on the altar of British imperialism.

I must admit that I just don't get it with Kiwis because, AFAIK (and I
know sod all about NZ history) the Brits never did anything bad to NZ
and yet there seem to be more anti-Brit Kiwis than anything else. OK,
a lot of guys died in the WWs but their countries sent them and I'm
sure there was still a sense for most of them - however misguided - of
being part of the Empire. The Aussies I can understand because we let
them down in the War but with hindsight only good has come out of that
- I doubt they would be so strong now if they had continued to face
towards GB instead of Asia and America.

My God, if there's a country on earth that you could understand being
hateful towards Britain it's India. Leaving aside the deaths and
problems created by the Empire, 1m people died as a result of a hasty,
bungled introduction of independence. Yet I work with Indians and
have some good Indian friends all of whom - though being mostly too
young to have experienced even the aftermath of independence - hold no
grudge. I have even walked alone in Indian cities without a single
person attempting to harm me. Astonishing? No, they know we're in
the 21st Century. Unfortunately, so many minds of their poor
downtrodden white brethren remain firmly in the 19th Century.

I feel sorry for anyone with prejudice against other humans. I've
seen prejudice, have been the object of it, and it's not nice. The
effect on the individual harbouring the prejudice is usually far
greater than on the object of their obsession - witness the
outpourings of pure hate we see here from time to time purely on the
basis of winning or losing a game of rugby fer chrissakes.

All the New Zealanders I've met have been honest to goodness people
but to read some of them you'd easily be convinced that they are a
nation of slathering psycopaths who spend their time trying to find
Brits to stomp because of some imagined hurt far back in the mists of
time.

Let me give you a tip. Anybody who takes Boobs seriously, never mind
as a national exemplar, is in need of serious help. One might just as
well conclude on the basis of Didgerdog's ravings that the English are

Bought a local's leg yesterday in fact. But also bought some frozem

It does, it says so in Wikipedia:

"...the RNZAF has shrunk to a strength of around 53 aircraft in 2007,
focussing on maritime patrol and transport duties in support of the
Royal New Zealand Navy and the New Zealand Army."

To be honest, if I was a NZ tax payer I would agree that there isn't a
need for Skyhawks, F16's or such like. Focusing on maritime patrol
seems quite sensible -- or could NZ be invaded by the Aussies?

Unlikely. We have already invaded and colonised Australia. The country

they are really quite docile and no threat to the Fatherland.
