I intensely admire and support our Armed Forces. They protect us from barbarism. We need them. I don't like to criticism them in any way.

However the big fearsome guy, in front-left centre of the photo, might need some further training in firearms use.

Because, if he fired his SA-80 rifle from the position he's got it in - wouldn't the recoil break his neck or collar-bone?

You're probably right Petal. He's looking left at the photographer, who's saying "Take up a really butch position, sweetie, ooh yes, that's bona".

Considering the PC/limp wristed traversty the UK has become and the fact our government can't protect it's citizens here or abroad it must be extremely disheartening to be in the armed forces at the moment.
