OUTRAGED Marines were ordered to remove their Help for Heroes wristbands at a funeral of a comrade who died in Afghanistan. They were told the bracelets “weren’t smart enough” and threatened with a £50 fine if they continued to break strict uniform rules. Yesterday one Marine revealed that the barring of the wristbands – which is at the discretion of commanding officers – was causing “huge upset and divisions” in the forces. Retiring General Sir Richard Dannatt and Princes William and Harry have been pictured wearing their wristbands in full uniform. A military source yesterday said: “The issue over wristbands is becoming a sticky one. Some stuck-in-the-mud commanding officers believe they infringe strict uniform rules. Then again, no one is as supportive of the charity as the Armed Forces.”

This has to be examined and commented on.
I cannot imagine the Head of the Rhodesian Army issuing edicts to Selous Scouts over dress and getting away with it.
Discipline is disciple, but common sense is common sense. If there is an overwhelming response from those doing the job that a matter has to be dealt with in a certain manner, then any reasonable senior rank would take that into consideration.
I was told by an individual that I cannot wear my Rhodesian GSM on parade. My response..."Do you want that finger broken or do you want to clean your teeth from up your arse-hole?"
Word of warning to the Marines. Collective dissent is Mutiny. There are arse-holes out there who would use QR&R's to pervert your desire to give homage to your comrades.
You will not remember this, but these are the words scribed into history by our forefathers from the Great war...
"Fuck 'em all. Fuck 'em all.
The long and the short and the tall.
Fuck all the sergeants and WO 1's.
Fuck all the sergeants and their f**king sons..."
Get one of the bandies to play you the tune...
