SAS Who dares wins

I think ‘woke’ is now the most annoying word in the English language. Every **** is saying it as if to establish that they’ve always been aware of all things worldly wise and all these ‘leftists’ have only just discovered.
I was listening to some BS talking heads on the radio the other day, Woke was used in very discussion by both host and guest. I almost phoned in to shout at what a bunch of cunts they were

Yep, whether it’s lefties boasting how right on they are or right wingers using it as a dig at anyone not as intolerant as them, anyone that uses that term is a ****.

Crap programme.

Yeah, it's definitely on the list of terms like "gammon", "karen", "sjw", "snowflake", etc. that immediately make me think the person using them has absolutely nothing worthwhile to say.

You would, Boomer.

It's up there with "cancel culture", a term that seems to have replaced "consequences of your actions"

Yeah, that's another one!

The actual programme has annoyed a lot of serving and ex serving special service soldiers. They hate their name being used in it because it devalues what they had to go through to get into the regiment. While the challenges look and are tough for your average civilian they're not a patch on the real deal for obvious reasons. When you look at the minuscule pass rate for the real regiment and that's amongst motivated highly fit soldiers you can understand them not wanting it to be called SAS anything.

Somebody once said a soldier is everyone's hero in wartime and everyone's pariah in peacetime. Ask any garrison town in the country and they'll agree as gangs of young fit men trained to be aggressive descend on their town centres of a weekend. If you then add in service trauma into the mix then that's a lot of potential ticking timebombs in society. Civvy street is hard to readjust into for a lot of ex servicemen/women and that's a fact.

Many can sit and slag off Middleton for the crime he committed n 2013 and he himself has said he regrets it and is sorry. He was sentenced to 14 months inside and served 4. It is credit to him he turned his life around and indeed tries to help others now.

As for the show, ex battle hardened ex special forces soldier meets luvvie programme producers was always going to lead to confrontation somewhere along the line.

The chasm between society and the military is only going to grow wider as pc and wokeness increases. While that same society still wants and needs mainly young fit men to go and fight wars and deal with terrorists in it's midst it will have to deal with the odd fall out now and then.

Good post mate.

Gammon is a term used by Dickens in 1838 in Nicholas Nickleby. Nothing wrong with following in the path of one of England’s greatest writers.

Absolutely agree with this and many find themselves homeless with no help, I personally can’t stand Middleton, he comes across as a smart twat, the others on the programme seem more down to earth. He plays up to the cameras and has a made a living off it, but the producers are idiots if they didn’t think this would happen. I’m even surprised they agreed to having women on the show and maybe that was the disagreement that’s come to a head, next why not disabled etc, well because you idiots that’s not what the SAS is about.
