That's what we need.
By no means an idiot cliché. Boots on the ground.
Let's keep saying it.
Because it will make everything better.
More flip flops on the ground:)
Boots on the ground. It is single syllable words. I like single syllable words because I am not clever, i am an old white man living in Thailand. Me like not hard is good pra wa not hard long time.
Boots, when i was a lad you could borrow books from them. Now they sell heroin to immigrants.
We need boots on the ground because underpants in the sky have failed us.
You on the piss Bob?
CHEERING crowds packed the streets of Britain yesterday as the nation finally got the war it has wanted for so very long.
Jubilation reigned throughout the land as RAF bombers set off to Syria, following Parliament’s capitulation to the public demand for an open-ended conflict in the Middle East.
Bill McKay, from Bolton, said: “I’m over the moon.
“I mean yes, we’ve been at war with or in Iraq since 2003, and of course there was Afghanistan, but that wasn’t nearly enough for me and my family.
“‘When are they going to start bombing Syria?’ my wife would nag me over the dinner table every night. ‘Everyone else is. It’s not fair’.
“Well, at last the wait is over and just in time for Christmas. What a fantastic present.”
Army recruitment centres have been inundated as tens of thousands abandon their dull lives in Civvy Street to join what one thrilled new squaddie described as ‘surely the best war yet’.

The prime minister, speaking in front of a spontaneous rally of more than 300,000 rejoicing people in Trafalgar Square, said: “It’s war, everyone! It’s war!
“God, it feels so exciting to finally be saying this! It’s war, it’s war, it’s war!”

Hope the hangover is not too much of a killer, DrBob.....
We need to send all our old smelly unwashed Pomgolian socks to Raqqa - dropped from a Hercules. That'll teach 'em and it'll have all them terrorist scumbags running for cover - via Turkey and the Balkans, of course.
Also pisses me off, along with 'Bike for Dad'.:)Quote:

Its just a way to dehumanize , like they sometimes refer to workers as hands
Nothing wrong with boots on the ground or in the air:)

The BBC is a pale shadow of its former self. They can't even get their spelling right. So many mistakes. Pathetic. And "quotes" that don't accurately reflect what was said. It's OK to paraphrase but to actually change the wording and surround those words with quotation marks is very poor form.
