Rick thinks living in WI makes him Bear Grylls

Excuse @McGowan6 he’s used to the glory days of army service:

No idea. The kilts suggest they're Scots guards or a Scots regiment

As opposed to believing what the TV show told you? Everyone here knows he was in the TA and wasn't a professional soldier. I also thought I remembered that he was injured in a training exercise. I googled it and that's the edit part I added.

As far as I know, he was injured on a training mission.
So?
Many now claim that JFK's older brother, Joe Jr., the heir to the Kennedy throne and the son chosen for ascension by the Patriarch Joseph Sr, also died in "just" a training mission in England. Does that make him less badass?
If your training can kill you, does it matter if you never made it to real battle?

Wut is ur point, m8?

For context, the British TA is the equivalent of the US National Guard. I don't know if there are special forces units in the US NG, but that's what Bear was in.

If bear grylls is so badass then why does he need you to defend him? check and mate.

He was in 21 SAS, which is a territorial Army reserve unit. Members of the public with no prior military experience can join. 22 SAS is what everyone means when they talk about the SAS. Obviously it's still difficult to get badged. I was going for an anti-Pat joke though. Relax yourself

Edit - also his parachute accident was on a training exercise, not a "mission." 21 and 23 SAS rarely ever see combat, and when they do it's as support troops, but only if 1, 2 or 3 Para aren't available. 16 Air Assault would also be brought in as support for 22 SAS before the territorial regiments 21 or 23. Grylls was in 94-97, so wouldn't have seen any action. Though he teases suggestions he might have on his American shows, he never used to when he was on British TV because he'd have been called out.

You have to realize though, Pat was rejected by the military for being to tough, look it up they can do that, like the police and intelligence.

Pat was the guy they brought in to train the guys who trained the guys to do hand-to-hand combat and knife fighting

Only because @McGovnah8 can't make a post without attacking someone's credentials, even if he agrees with the OPs sentiment. I know nothing about the guy but he acts like high-born lord and it's fun to argue with him.

Bear Grylls eats his own poop on tv, literally. I don't care if he lives or dies. But I'll autisticly defend the integrity of my posts to the last man.

This is why this place is superior to KF.

If McG and I had a tiff over there, they'd discuss it in earnest for another two days like it was a social justice issue.

Ova heeah, we wait till the opponent says something funny, rib it, and then go have a snack, while everyone else calls us faggots.

Enjoy your snack. I'm going to finish reading Ripley Under Ground and go to sleep. Toodle-oo!

The only difference in Milwaukee during the cold is there’s marginally less nigger crime
