Handsome Ralph posted:It's a weird thing with some Americans that have limited knowledge of Jordan. They like to hype up the Royals military service like it's some super street cred, all without really having any idea what the gently caress they're talking about or that a lot of their accomplishments are amped up to make them look more tougher or whatever to their populace. Most American soldiers try to pretend that airborne school is hardcore too, tbqh.

chitoryu12 posted:Abdullah actually did military service for real. He joined the British Army after getting his expensive Western education and was the commander of the Jordanian Special Forces in the 90s. He became Major General by the time he was 36, so you can assume some serious nepotism/rear end-kissing because of him being a prince. Yeah all things considered, he's a pretty good King and has done some pretty good things for the country. I just found it hilarious that people who aren't even Jordanian lap up the "The King personally dropped bombs on ISIS, and then everyone stood up and clapped" type stories as if they are pure fact.

Continuing the trend of royal military accomplishments, the danish crown prince did a tour with the Sirius patrol (4-month long dogsled patrol of the remote wastes of northern Greenland) in 2000, which is pretty hardcore as well, even without the risk of combat.

My family has some friends in Copenhagen, and the male half of the couple was a part of this unit. Dude is one of the nicest and most soft-spoken guys you could ever meet, and he just casually talks about surviving major blizzards in a small tent and dodging polar bears for months on end like it's no big deal. For training in the off season, he and his teammates would go and live on a glacier for six weeks at a time and shoot seals for food.

Thats far from the most hard core stuff he did. He completed selection with Frømandskorpset, which is a SEAL equivalent, afterwards he completed pilot training with the air force and flew F-16's. He currently holds rank of Captain (Navy) and Colonel (Air Force, Army) and teaches at the Royal Danish Defence College. The royals in Denmark can bugger off, but I do respect Frederik as the exceptional dude he is. Edit, picture. Frederik doing an iron man.

Liz the second is a bad rear end bitch. I love her. The Queen Mother ran a convalescent home for soldiers out of Glamis during WW 1 at 14 years old. Basically the British royalty are pretty pro at fightin war.

Never thought to post this, kinda forgot about it. Got pased down a family "heirloom" from my great grandfather after he died. His "trench bible" as the family called it from WWII. Covers are solid metal, only barely opened it so I don't damage it. Been keeping it in a small safe.
