People with an active interest in military history

with what kind of bayonet?

LOL at Dom's 1st attempt to get banned!

LET'S ALL TALK ABOUT THE INATE FIGHTING ABILITIES OF THE GURKHAS

I have a Gurkha knife (kukri) at home. I won it in a raffle. That's my entire collection of military memorabilia catalogued.

Dom's 1st attempt? Seriously?

I'd revive a Ban Dom thread to contest that but I wouldn't risk the wrath of Pash.

need to find that military plane pic thread with most of uk ilx 'enthusing', you'd have yr work cut out for you

not sure that counts as an "active interest" onimo. probably safe from a stabbing.

It's a shite knife as well, I probably couldn't defend myself against even a novice military enthusiast. Good for opening letters though...

It's just the worst shit ever to care about, and basically marks you out as either a) some streak-of-piss who'll never be allowed on a forklift truck let alone a Sherman tank having fantasies about not being the ledger clerk for a vending machine repair company in Farnham b) some heavily institutionalized ex-military nutjob who needs a hobby before he dies alone and unemployed by hanging himself aged 33.

JUST BECAUSE I LIKE A GAME OF PANZER GENERAL EVERY NOW AND THEN IS NO REASON FOR THIS LEVEL OF PERSONAL HARRASSMENT I DEMAND A THREAD DELETION

yeah i think those FPS gamer types who collect like samurai swords & shit are in exactly the same boat xp apologies to battlefield fans

These zingers don't have a clue what happened at Stalingrad.

I outgrew my fantasies of being in Napoleon's Young Guard around the age of 12, but still read military history.

my mom collects old civil war shit (both union and confederate)

People with an active interest in 'stabbing' people for random reasons stemming from intolerance and a childish desire to morally bludgeon others as away to assert their equality or superiority should be given some warm milk and their blanky and read a naptime story - or stabbed themselves. Your choice.

Anyone with an interest in military history is a racist. Fact.

Dom needs a hug. Maybe from Suzy.

Wait I'm a FPS gamer type. I may be borderline stabbable here. I haven't read Commando for years, honest!

CND folk always argued that you should have an interest in this type of thing in order to hold your own in an argument with, say, Max Hastings. There's nothing wrong pre se with an interest it's when people get all 'warm' at the thought of various weaponry that I start to drift off.

i agree its just that at that point i start to actually get disturbed

btw collecting civil war memorabilia is not a stabbable offense crutis's mom

She's probably got enough weaponry there to fend off random Internet attacks.

onimo:

lol FACES

What does this have to do with military history?

attack!

Hmm, guess I fall into Dom's kill list as I'm about to start on Lord Field Marshal Alanbrooke's war diaries.

As soon as I finish reading Jon Savage's 'Teenage' and Michael Palin's diaries.

I took War and Genocide in my final year of university. Does that make me stab-worthy?

As long as there were no practicals

I generally find Dom attains almost nabisco-like OTMness, but not in this thread.

As funny now was it was the 100000th time.

People who know all about current military affairs and are really annoyed about Labour cutting defence spending in real terms because of the impact it will have on the new aircraft carrier or whatever and who invariably have drinking buddies/old school friends who are in "HM forces" who they obviously envy despite the fact that they're just privates in logistics and are serving on a base in the Rhine = so incredibly fucking dud.

yeah man, he really tells it like it is, y'know?

that's daryl for ya.
