I served in the Army during the 1970s. As with all regiments in the British Army there was rivalry and banter. Guards were always referred to as tick tocks (strange how that has a different meaning these days). But excellent soldiers. But watching this documentary makes me realise how far Britain has now fallen in tradition.

I was in a county Infantry Regiment and met a lot of Guardsmen Bloody good officers and NCOs was my experience The guards cling to there own traditions and thats not a bad thing History has shown they are good solders and they do deliver at time of war and thats what counts

Officer sloppy salutes are in insult to their soldiers.

2.52 ‘Stop Mincing on the square.’ 6.28 the worst salutes you’ve ever seen in your life. Thank god the sergeants ran things. The Ruperts are straight out of the General Melchet mould.

The saluting from the Wuperts was bloody awful and a disgrace. It's as though being Guards officers they think it's oh so ''chic to do everything with a certain casualness.

Oooh how times have changed, I hated much of this when I was a soldier, it’s only good if you’re an officer or watching it on telly.

Putting aside all the pros and cons of SA80 versus SLR as weapons (give me an SLR everytime!), I thought the SLR looked so much better when performing drill.

I hail originally from the Forest of Dean and we were contemptuous of these snobbish twits. And yes I served with the army - and alongside the Coldstream Guards in Kenya. Good soldiers but their officers' mannerisms left me cold.
