I've said it before and I'll say it again: Conscript the corrupt bastards into the Queen's Westminster Rifles and send them to the 'stan.

For what I have in mind it won't cost a penny - walking 100m ahead of real soldiers to set off IEDs and landmines needs very little training and no equipment.

Any that survive long enough to need rations can be used as training aids - live running man targets on the range.

What he said and not only that, strap bomb-vests onto them and send 'em into Taliban-held buildings to blow up Talibans. 2-birds, 1-stone.

I came her to vent, but the Remittance Man has said it for me. My one modification would be to send any Westminster Chairborne Infantry survivors to the bayonet course rather than to the range. Given the cost of ammunition, they simply would not be worth it. The Houses of Parliament sould be turned into a deluxe hotel, or better yet continue their use as a brothel, but with more attractive, and better behaved, whores.
