For someone to be so definite and then renege on it all by saying "I based it on the British Army" is toss mate. Not going to war with you on this one but you've dropped into a forum here inhabited by some very serious and quite knowledgeable geezers. The original question was rhetorical and aimed at sparking a debate betwen us to firm up our knowledge. FeldJager had it spot on and his subsequent answer to you defines it more.

Definitely not wishing to knock your confidence or diss you but bear in mind - you always need to be able to reference your claims or they won't stand up....... Carry on that man! :wink:
