I make no claims about military service.

Such things are far too easy to be called on

As youa re just finding out.

You made claims about being an ex serviceman with combat experience in the
infantry.

I want proof, or you're just another blow-hard Usenet liar.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
