what a statement..........!!!!!!!!!

It takes hundreds of years to be demoted to that level.

This ‘motley crew’ demoted themselves to the level of the French, not the military as a whole. British soldiers are still dying on the streets of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan.

So, when you doing your next tour in Iraq or Afghanistan?????

True, but it seems like at least 12 of the 15 were quick to capitulate. If that is a fair sample of Britain's military (and these were forward-deployed sailors and marines, so they should be among the best), then approximately 75% of their best troops are not very well-trained or well-prepared to defend their country's honor. It's a poor statistical sample size, but it is alarming nonetheless for such a long-term and reliable ally.
