Britain's armed forces always seemed so... civilized to me. Must be the hats.

I've always wondered how the Royal Navy would fight a naval engagement in a forest. Now I know.

I can dream, can't I? posted by hal9k Ya know... that actually was quite moving. Oh, and despite my admission of actual emotion, and my jokey response about wanting a massage from the manly nola, I am the furthest thing from gay. Not that there's anything wrong with it.)

What mathowie didn't tell us is that this is what happens behind the scenes every time we send a MeMail. Commandos, fighter pilots and other dudes like that are deployed with laptops every time we feel the urge to get personal. Remember, these guys are reading what you write! so keep it clean, OK? Respect the Queen's fighting men.

Don't talk to me about naval tradition. It's nothing but rum, sodomy and the lash.

This is really fairly open-minded of the Royal Navy. I can't really imagine any branch of the US armed forces releasing its cinematic image for public use so gamely. Wish I'd known about this in time for my Xmas e-cards to go out; New Years' messages all 'round!

Kinda annoying in the background sound loop the only intelligible phrase repeating in every few seconds, "Forget about it, huh?"

Is there anybody else who can barely read the message held up at the end?

Ok, update: if you have the same monitor issues I do, the "Fast Jet Pilot" scenerio is greatly preferred (black type on white clipboard message).

"From time to time the Royal Navy may wish to contact you by email and/or SMS. We will only contact you if we believe we have information that may be of interest to you. The Royal Navy will not pass on your details on to any other organisation." What, no more helicopters?
