Ritual Abuse of UK Marines

No they wouldnt, infact they are quite annoyed that they have to look after someone who just tried to shoot them. But guess what, they do look after them.

Or maybe they were just Bored.

Just like Secret British Army Sex Show in Iraq,
or maybe how US female soldiers go wild,
or maybe how Net body photos inquiry dropped charges, for the Photographs of dead Iraqis on a website in exchange for access to pornography.

Yeah, maybe its one of THOSE Days...

So I take it now that the US has finally got over the little "dispute" we had and now the US military is part of the MOD? If not then it has 0 relavance.
The british army trials are a diffrent story, the british army is massive compared to the RM's hell the RM is just ONE brigade, the army has like 5+...

He's halfway there already anyway. He wears a dress.

Gee, why are you so Pissed, so that Mod had to edit your Post?
I know Obi-Wan - we go WAY Back. I think you are just a Poor Looser and Hate to admit, that your Comparison was Poor and a Jedi Knight and a UK marines have very little things incommon.

But, I will let it Pass; I am through with this Debate and will not post anymore stuff about Jedi's but only stuff regarding the Topic of this Thread.

LOL. I wasn't pissed. Sanctum can tell you why he edited my post if you wanna U2U him.

I don't reckon I'm a poor loser (or looser) either dude. Ya see, my comparison is that both parties use violence to achieve their means. The light sabres, the robes, the little R2D2 robots - none of that really matters a fig. The whole point is that they whack people and kill them. Of course, I've only watched each Star Wars movie once (except for the first one which is always being bloody repeated on TV) but the Jedi do seem to get a rather large body count. Of course, they might run around going "Ommmm" every 10 minutes, but they're back there kicking some ass after regenerating the ol' spiritual batteries ain't they?

But anyway, that's a digression and you are correct that it is slightly off topic. So let's return to the subject and the lniks that you have posted. Well, firstly a couple of them don't even refer to UK forces and the one that does refers to a Sex Show. Now I may not be the brightest cookie in the box, but I reckon that the least a guy stuck in the desert with only his hand for company, deserves is a reminder that women still exist. The link you provide shows nothing more than a pair of breasts and it's highly likely that you could wander round a civilian town and see a lot more than that on offer. I don't see how dragging that link up serves your cause (except that I have replied to it and Sanctum could be ready with his editing button again). You'll have to do better than that to prove that Royal Marines are monsters. Basically all you have done is prove that they are heterosexual - and even then, the links don't specifically refer to the Marines.

Your statement that they may just be "bored" is probably a lot closer to the truth than you realise. 99% of the time that I have seen Marines or Paras "misbehaving" was because they were bored. It's sadly true that they do have a very short attention span. If they can't eat it, drink it, kill it or..... (no Sanctum I'll let that one go), they really aren't interested and go off to find other ways to amuse themselves.
As for your abuse statement? Prove it. Go ahead. You can't. There isn't any documented evidence of British troops grossly misbehaving in Iraq. Quite frankly I must admit that I'm not suprised. Their trainng is geared to this sort of thing. Send you or me out there and we would be guaranteed to slip up (well maybe not you, you'd be starring in your own video), but in general, civilians wouldn't be half as well behaved as UK armed forces are.
Again, you are making the mistake of comparing yourself with a trained killer. As a trained lover aren't you off the other end of the scale?

No, sanctum won't be telling anyone anything regarding Moderators actions.

But, I will say this for the third time to all posters, No personal sniping and STAY ON TOPIC

I'm sure the Royals wish US female soldiers would go real wild in their very close proximity. I know I would, gotta love a woman in uniform...

[sings]Women in uniform sometimes they look so cold
Women in uniform but, ooh, they feel so warm
Women in uniform, women in uniform
Women in uniform, women in uniform

Commando raid on the Lebanese border
Sergeant Anita she gives the order
Khaki jacket and a sten gun
Baby, I surrender, let's have some fun...[/sings]

Thanks Skyhooks...

What I'm not sure about is how Yankee girly soldiers and their antics have any bearing on the conduct of the RMCs.

edit: oops, devilwasp and leveller have already made the point...
