"The whole point of being in the Army is wanting to get killed."
 
why dont people and esp celebs think before opening their mouths?!



Quote:

Actor Rupert Everett has apologised for branding soldiers "wimps" and saying they were "always whining about the dangers of being killed".
"It's pathetic," the star of My Best Friend's Wedding had told the Sunday Telegraph. "The whole point of being in the Army is wanting to get killed."
But now he insists he did not mean to question the "bravery" of troops.
Everett, whose father is a retired Army major, also said he was sorry for talking "flippantly" about torture.

He's a prat.

This is the man who left Comic Relief's The Apprentice because he was an actor, and said he didn't know what to say without a script.

Good to see what kind of bloke our soldiers are fighting for. They may as well down arms now and go the pub.

i was always under the impression that joining the forces was to protect the monarchy and country, and hope to defend without being killed.

if you join the army then expect to get shot at , only yesterday people were crying about how in the last 3 years 100 soldiers have been killed

whoopie bloody doo there was a damn sight more killed in one day in ww2 and besides to be shot at is actualy in the job description of been a soldier so if you dont fancy getting shot at dont join the bloody army :rolleyes:

in an ideal situation no soldiers would be killed but sadly its part of the job description that you may actualy have to fight one day

Stupid idiot!!!!

The whole point of any lad/lass signing up is to do a job and serve thier country, Yes they all know the dangers, and being shot at is one of them.
This dosent mean they want to be shot at, nor does it mean they are whimps:mad:

Dont, and never have heard my lad or any of his mates complain about the dangers of being in the army.

Hope this guy is thoroughly ashamed of his comments

I am shocked that someone whos Father was an Army major can spew such rubbish out of his mouth. Hope his Father is proud of him. He should be made to apologise publicly:mad:
