7th Rangers: Britain's top military units uniforms, including the SAS, snipers and the Red Arrows are made in China under £70million contract - The Brits are idiots
Fighting Seventh
The Fighting Rangers On War, Politics and Burning Issues
Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
Britain's top military units uniforms, including the SAS, snipers and the Red Arrows are made in China under £70million contract - The Brits are idiots
Sunday, May 21, 2023
The Daily Mail : Combat clothing worn by the SAS, snipers and frontline infantry troops is being made in China as part of a £70 million contract, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
Uniforms worn by the Red Arrows and the RAF Memorial Flight were also produced in Chinese factories, according to details of contracts obtained by this newspaper.
Security experts have repeatedly warned that China poses a danger to the West. Former PM Liz Truss said that the UK was in a Cold War with China during a controversial visit to Taiwan
last week. Campaigners have warned that the military clothing could
have been produced in forced labour camps by China's persecuted Uighur
Muslims.
Colonel Richard Kemp, a former commander
of British troops, said: 'This is an embarrassing and shameful blunder.
Even if it costs more, the Armed Forces should not be wearing Chinese
uniforms – they should be made in the UK using material from a country
with a decent human rights record and not a country which is a strategic
threat.'
Details of the contracts,
revealed in a Freedom of Information request, show that thousands of
items of military clothing have been made in China over the last three
years.
