Laughing matter

I respect the sentiment in the Chief of the General Staff General Sir Mark Carleton-Smith’s video message and I have great admiration for our armed forces. 

However, I gotta be honest. I think it’s something to do with the delivery, but the hands on the hips, the intensity of the facial expression...sorry, but something suggests that behind the sincerity there lies a barely suppressed urge to giggle.  Monty Python eat yer heart out.


I mean, using an image of Jeremy Corbyn for target practice? No laughing matter indeed…well, maybe just a little.

    But I expect the modern Army has to be more 'inclusive'.
