    Try sticking to English - which you are clearly struggling with - and facts - which you are definitely struggling with - or better still piss off back to whichever chairsoft fanboi site from which you crawled in the first place.

    First off your grammar is atrocious, dont tell me what i am cabable of? Just saying dental over in the Uk is ever so nice! Also inbreeding! Second stop ranting on military photos.net. Some of you people really need to grow up. Also, shut the hell up and maybe put some boots on the line (slippers in your case)for your country. Just my .02

    Back in the days coastal jägers were trained in coastal jäger school similar to airborne school and were different from normal infantry and the name stuck. Name is nowdays in swedish since its swedish speaking unit.

    Sadly no, no trappings of the Empire were allowed since post War of Independence the treatment of Irish British WW1 veterans and WW2 Veterans has been disgraceful, in the last few years there has been a softening attitude with many locations in the country building memorials to the memory of those who served, but, there will always be a tiny minority of idiots who regards them as traitors to their country.
