Another walter exposed What is it with these guys? (It usually is guys) I'm neither angered nor saddened by these types. Merely slightly bemused. Because as the years go by I seem to be less and less inclined to discuss my service. It's not that I'm ashamed or have anything to hide, quite the opposite.

But I just dont like talking about it, for reasons that I cant fully explain even to myself.

So thats why I cant seem to understand these guys, which I believe the Americans in a rare moment of what I find genuinely funny call walters, after the character walter mitty.

Anyone else got any thoughts on the matter?

The wearing of miniature medals depends on how formal the dinner is and what the dress description states eg black tie with miniatures. My single miniature looks a bit lonely compared to US medals and nowadays UK medals. The UK medal situation just shows sadly how frequent we have been in combat in recent years with new campaign medals. Before that Borneo, NI, Radfan, etc were awarded as clasps on the General Service Medal.

As most of the bar girls are ISAN (from the north or NE of Thailand) then these young British would be soldiers are really wasting their breath as these young girls would have no idea who or what the SAS were. Also being Buddhist they are not great army lovers and additionally many of their young men will be doing national service and be taken away from them.

Now, if you were to pretend you were a banker your chances would improve by 100% ;-)

When I spent some time in the RAFA Club in Kingston, Jamaica, I was amazed at how many of the members flew with Bader in the Battle!
