#3 Someone in an earlier post said these guys were the SAS' second string: seems like being #2 leads them to try harder. Congrats, enjoy the toys, watch yer head, and shoot to kill...

#8 Is it possible that they have confused "strut" with standing tall? Most any U.S. military personnel walks with thier head up and thier shoulders back a bit. Just the way a person should.
Better said would have been, "Unlike the Americans, they slouch."
