Pah! I still say the Telegraph has the last word on Armchair Generals.

Just look at the quality of some of those ill-conceived, uninformed rants. Why, you practically have to dodge the spittle coming out of the screen.

“Ditch Trident, make a more mobile rapid response force, split into self sufficent units of 1500 strong supported by helo’s, Littoral combat ships and other defensive counter-measures .”

Sir Humphrey will be enraged.

Each had a wooden horse
Gaily they played each summer’s day
Warriors both of course
One little chap then had a mishap
Broke off his horse’s head
Wept for his toy then cried with joy
As his young playmate said:

Did you think I would leave you crying
When there’s room on my horse for two
Climb up here Jack and don’t be crying
I can go just as fast with two
When we grow up we’ll both be soldiers
And our horses will not be toys
And I wonder if we’ll remember
When we were two little boys

These are basic and obvious military concepts, but few people today have any concept of military matters.

This is why we at Pippin Fort are disappointed but not surprised at the absence of any mention of the humpety bumpety army truck in these discussions. Who needs aircraft carriers when you can simply wave to the soldiers brave, who sing and shout as they lurch about in a humpety bumpety army truck?

It is better to take the fight to the enemy rather than try to fend them off at home

Fuck, why even wait until they’ve become the enemy? Wimp!

+5 cuntery points for anyone quoting Sun Tzu on that thread, surely.

The best defence is a good offence – true in war as well as sport

That’s not even true in sport.

So many gems on this thread!

The guy who recommended a STEALTH army, STEALTH navy and STEALTH air force as the way to go gave me a warm glow all over but in the end I think I enjoyed Brian the most…

The best defence is a good offence – true in war as well as sport

It is better to take the fight to the enemy rather than try to fend them off at home

The initiative is ours & the casualties theirs – rather than the other way round

These are basic and obvious military concepts, but few people today have any concept of military matters
