…The Royal Dragoon Guards now carries with it the traditions and history of four of the finest regiments in the British Cavalry; the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, the 5th Dragoon Guards, the 7th Dragoon Guards and the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons. All four were raised between 1685 and 1689, during the protracted contest between James II and William of Orange for the English throne.

I think the American military might frown on that sort of thing. Those Brits have been stuck on that island of theirs way too long.

You Americans take things way too seriously – they’re just messing around, for Christ’s sake!! If you were stuck in Iraq, you’d want to do something like that too… Mind you, the Brits are also famous for our unique ability to take the piss out of ourselves – something no other nation can really do!
