No it is worse than that, I'm a secret estate agent (realter??)
i can bring over a company from my old regiment. They are always up to taking out targets such as the one you have so adequately identified, doctor. it is "a urban tactical exercise" i.e., a reason to get roaring drunk shoot of several hundred thousand rounds of small arms, mortar, and cannon fire; and burn, rape and pillage a few people, from, er, - where is she from, the midlands? all the better.
Up there with "the ladies from hell" (night watch?), the Gurkhas, the Jannisaries, etc.
"The Galloping Beaver" (http://thegallopingbeaver.blogspot.com/2008/02/british-spend-last-of-their-army.html) says that the UK is in serious danger of becoming a non-military power. From what i am seeing, the French could invade the UK and not meet much more resistance than a group of handbag-swinging pensioners.

We've been kicking Froggie backsides for the past 700 years and we can still do it without breaking sweat. Remember, our best forces are the ones you can't see.We Brits never back down from a fight - AND WE TURN UP ON TIME! The last war we lost was the American War of Independence; and who was our enemy in that one? Brits living in America with help from the bloody Froggies, that's who! The last time we lost to foreigners was the goddam Norman invasion.
... and we are not pretty either!!!!
From the above post I see denial, dismissal of facts, rejection of his own peers, just self-justification and attempted (and failed) self-aggrandizement.
According to the above logic, the French aren't French - they are just a Germanic tribe from the lower Rhine
So sad to see a good man - BEAVER - go down-hill so fast. Alzheimer's, you know.
