MrCardinal1965 Well the RM did try to dissuade the SAS from attempting such an infiltration point...

Max Plankton As did Members of the British Antarctic Survey team. The hierarchy of the SAS wanted spectaculars for the Regiment, Maj Delves (D Sqn Commander) through privately held American satellite communications sought confirmation of the plan where he could find it rather than go with local knowledge (The SAS of that time was quite an insular and secretive organisation). Due to the spectacular success of the Iranian embassy siege in 1980 and the national adulation that followed, many were unsure as to what the SAS’s capabilities were. Maj Guy Sheridan RM (Ground Commander Op Paraquat) said that he could not see at which point the SAS might be overreaching their capabilities. Defence secretary Sir John Nott said (of The Fortuna Glacier disaster) that the SAS could not see beyond their own planning. Captain Hamilton was a new troop commander with 6 months under his belt and so was in a position whereby he needed to make a good impression. Many SAS commanders at various levels were sacked during the conflict (notably B Sqn’s Captain Andy Legg, recce Patrol Commander of the aborted Operation Plum Duff) for not showing sufficient daring. Legg was later told by a colleague that it would have been better for the Regiment that he got off of the helicopter and died gloriously in a hail of bullets rather than come back. Your point is correct, but their was some serious issues around the hierarchy of the SAS at that time that were hell bent on maintaining the myth of the SAS, irrespective of the cost. The Regiment came in for some serious criticism after the conflict which led to the formation of United Kingdom Special Forces Command under the Director Special Forces, so they could no longer operate as independently as they had done during Operation Corporate.

CC now takes 12 months. That is to complete what is essentially P1. Once commissioned 2Lts conduct P2 which varies in length dependant on the job role.

Erm, no it doesn’t take 4 years to become an officer in the U.S. You need to have a college degree which normally takes 4 years. You can do this at a military college if you wish, or you can attend a normal college and then go to West Point etc. After that point, you can attend west point, which is only 12 weeks long.

I saw you took down your videos... any chance you have them up elsewhere?

angry brigade, they where an an anarchic group of terrorists who used to bomb anything they didn't like!. they where around for much of 1970s but after their members where arrested I think the enthusiasm waned, at the time they where a very real threat (hence why they are mentioned)!.

neil5568 I think they later refer to army doing refuse collection presumably during a strike, but I did raise an eyebrow when I first heard that!

Yes it is a reference to the British Military being used during various strikes. It applied to the Navy and Royal Air Force also.

+kay jay Has the narrator an upper-class accent, as well?

Moostaukind I think that he has what used to be called a BBC accent. This is how you had to speak if you wanted to be on British t.v.

wow, I never expected such a fast replay on a year old post. Thank you! So his accent is not as posh as the Accent the students have? Sorry if I am annoying, but I am not British and I just find languages/dialects/accents so interesting.

Moostaukind No. His accent is not the same as the students.
