Their feudal past has conditioned them with a long history of calmly going along with whatever the collection of inbred lunatics in charge tells them to do.

British society, like British weather, is extremely pessimistic and restrained, they are calm in the face of death because they know death cannot be more depressing and unpleasant than life in Britain.

And they believe that above all else, you should be calm and collected no matter how terrible things are around you. Death may be inevitable, but losing your cool is unacceptable.

This will only open an autism loop anon. You'll be accused of being an autistic grammar nazi about the use of the word autism. However you defend yourself will only lead us back again. Forever stuck.

It's actually very common to be "calm", they drill a lot so a lot of autopilot. It's mainly movies that potray firefights as fast action chaos.
>>
Professionalism.
>>
>>30535787
Lots of discipline & training leads to a calm, professional soldier who keeps his cool in a firefight.
That's the advantage to having a fairly small military- more money for training making the army more professional.

>"Things are a bit sticky, sir," Brig Tom Brodie of the Gloucestershire Regiment told General Robert H Soule, intending to convey that they were in extreme difficulty.

>But Gen Soule understood this to mean "We're having a bit of rough and tumble but we're holding the line". Oh good, the general decided, no need to reinforce or withdraw them, not yet anyway.

>With no extra support promised, the colonel in charge of the Gloucesters fell back to a hill overlooking the river, where they made their stand. For four days, mostly without sleep, they held off 30,000 Chinese troops trying to surge across the river, killing 10,000 of them with Bren gun fire.

>When they tried to withdraw, they were too late. More than 500 of them were captured and spent years in Chinese camps. Fifty-nine were killed or missing. Only 39 escaped. Two soldiers were awarded Victoria crosses for bravery.

"Trying" is the operative word here because you can't fight people who won't come out and face you. If all they do is blow up pubs (and call ahead to warn beforehand because casualties are icky) it's no fight at all.

When you'll take the fact of IRA being REBELS and that they were fighting against British ARMY and SAS under consideration, Fighting in the open would be considered as a suicide, that said, ambushing and killing one by one is more clever and superior strategy. They weren't fighting for honour, they were fighting for freedom.

No, they're stupid. You don't describe being bum rushed by an entire army as "a bit sticky." You concisely relay the situation you are in and the enemy you are facing so your commanding officer can make informed decisions.

Yea it sucks not having a defined ethnic identity. We've had to invent our own "American" identities which usually change every 10 years or so. Hence why you have rednecks, wannabe gangsters, SJWs, hipsters, metalheads, etc. They are all compensating for their lack of genetically pure ethnic background and the culture that comes with it. Identities are drawn along racial lines because thats all we have left. Everyone is just a mutt of various nationalities.

You have to have those Nike shoes that look like Slazenger shoes from Sports Direct for a tenner, some puffy addidas jacket. Absolute essential. Maybe even a Stone Island jumper if your mum thinks your a good lad and buys one for your birthday, when in reality you're a prick who harasses OAPs on the bus after buying your First Buses All Day Ticket with the money your mum gave you for a haircut. Some slim fitting Addidas Trackies with two white stripes running down the legs. One of those man bags to keep your Lucozade Caribbean Twist in. If you're really committed you could even wear a bucket hat and speak some dialect that makes you sound like you should be claiming disability benefits. Like most their families are.
