"What silly BASTARD taught them to about turn using 1800s U.S forces Drill regs" ????
Presumably, the same sort of silly Septic bastard who came up with the absurd notion that they had anything to do with the capture of a functioning Enigma machine, in May 1941 ..
Why didn't they just contact the Royal Marines Museum at Eastney, Portsmouth .. and simply ask ?
At least Spielberg in "Saving Ryan's Privates" had the common-dog to use serving Royal Marines to cox'n the Landing Craft used in the opening scenes, which were co-ordinated by a former Royal Marines Landing Craft Branch Sgt Major, of my aquaintance ..
Well, to them, anything that happened an hour ago is "history", a week ago is ANCIENT history, and was probably the Egyptians what done it whilst taking time off from building a pyramid or two. :-))
Haven't they all "up-anchored" & sodded-off to the Somali coast ? .. ;)

Oddly enough, they were originally built about 15 miles from where I now live ..

Cracking clip MD .. thanks again ..
ReplyDeleteIn spite of all the good-natured jibes about "WAFU's" .. one has to respect the balls of steel those blokes have ..
Fell out with this series in number two....or was it three(?), where Sparrow is captured and brought before the Guvoner.
ReplyDeleteThere is a squad of Royal Marines guarding . Kit is perfect. Late 1700s Royal Marine "Lobster" uniforms. Then they about turned.
