no i get hated dude. ridicule is when people say things like "
I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the United States of America, in close combat.
I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life"
and then drone strike a bunch of villagers, without actually fighting anyone, call it collateral and work on behalf of dictatorships.
british soldiers dont say shit like this, because they understand they will be asked to do dirty work as well as morally justifiable stuff, and loyalty to the queen is all thats asked.
