Nudist brigade

[Rebecca]

I was just thinking the other day when I thought about the army? And acording to most army type people the key to victory is the element of suprise, and what could be more surprising than the enemy parachuting in with out cloths on and by the time you have come to grips with it you've lost .

It could save many lifes and promote nudity (I only posted this topic because I was bored so dont wory about it too much).

[nacktman]

Rebecca it has been done before (the nude part at least).

The Celts more often as not fought battles nude, both male and female warriors for most of their history.

That fact was one of the reasons the Romans never truly beat them in antiquity...would you believe a nude man with a sword (which is longer and heavier than yours by the way) would even face you in your armor much less a woman if you were a Roman soldier?

They sure didn't until they began dying by the thousands.

yeah, as well as beserker-type celts, i heard that some chinese guys who lived in the jungles lived nude. Their skin became so toughened by being cut by the jagged terrain that they had some armored protection even when nude

[Doodles]

Ancient Egyptians fought battles nude. Back then clothes provided little protection and often hindered movement, which is why their lack of was better to fighters.

Rebecca, How could a pretty girl like you be bored? What goes on in Sussex England?
I am in Southern California and the weather has been nice. To bad I have to work. Rain is on the way.

I think the idea would work in the corporate world too.

• Coke vs Pepsi
  
• Apple vs Microsoft
  
• Ford vs Chrysler
  
• etc.[/list]
  Just imagine hoards of office workers going about their business "au naturale". I would even bet that if nudity was made a pre-condition for war (that is, you would have to be nude to be allowed to fight) then we would see an immediate drop in world trouble spots.

Wouldn't it put the other side on it's rear end for a while? They might even run away in shock? I'm up for it now I just have to get the brass to go along hmmm... I feel a power point presentation comming on. Oh well we can dream right? I won't bore you with silly details like reality. I wish combat were like a scene from Lord of the rings or whatever but it is different than you might imagine.

As someone who is in the Army and who is airborne qualified (means I can jump out of planes), the thought of doing static line jumps brings one word to mind. "Ouch!" especially if you hit the ground and the chute starts dragging you over the lovely rocky ground....

Nakedness and Soldiers has been front page stories this week in our national daily papers.

It is reported that British Royal Marines undergo an initiation ritual that involves getting naked and having fun, naked mud wrestling, running, sliding naked down muddy hills etc etc. Officers say this is all standard stuff for Marines and it is a way of toughening up the soldiers as well as creating a bond between men.

Hi True Brit (and welcome back, BTW, you've been missed )

Some parts of the initiation ritual you've listed actually sound pretty fun. However, it's the beating the crap out of each other part that I believe is under scrutiny.

I am with you, Unwired. I could enjoy the mud activities, but not the beatings!
