do the poor grunts sent down south and who get blown up or mutilated, whose fathers, unlike this pilot, are not high ranking serving officers in the military, also get posthumous promotions and increased pensions?

Err, not many longbow men at Agincourt are commemorated in the churches of England, Tax.

do you have a team of bon mots boffins on 24 hr standby or do you write the shite yourself ?

You're being obtuse, now. The point, which evidently has just parted your hair, is that in medieval times only the high born are celebrated with the lumpen hordes coming nowhere.
