Spike Milligan lives!

I can only imagine what he would have done had camcorders and the internet been around during his stint in WWII.

This was a brilliant way to do that, they said it was kind of a 'going away video' before they left for Germany.

What a hoot... Good to see that the brass has a sense of humor (or is it humour?) after all.

Hate to break the news, but this is Royal Army, not US Army.

Personally I got no beef with it, grew up around the Military.... and I'm telling you, they find more creative ways to fill time than just about anyone I have ever met.

War is long stretches of boredom with moments of abject fear and inhumanity thrown in. Let em use their idle time however they want, as long as they aren't hurting anyone but the enemy.
