Arghh, more misunderstandings of what I meant by respect. I didn't mean that they were feared for the size of empire or control they exerted, but of the professionalism of British soldiers today.

I know I'd have to work within the grounds of nationalism. The idea would be that soldiers already live under a pretty much socialistic lifestyle. Everyone lives together, works together. Even though some are of higher ranks, they got their through work and capability, and despite the ranks, everyone is working together for higher goals. Have to be careful mind, this could all be equally capable of sounding a little fascist.


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
