I'm, I'm curious, I mean, the Falklands as kind of an entity in UK history, looking back on it, what, what do you think of, of the decision that, that the UK government, uh, had in terms of, you know, its involvement in the Falklands? Like, do, do you look at it as a mistake?
0:35
But it's all...
0:35
Them islands, uh, I know from Argentina it's called Malvinas in Spanish, but it's al- they've always been British.
0:43
I mean, they're British people there.
0:46
They're white British talking English.
0:49
I mean, sure, there may have been the odd Argentine or something else there, but those were British islands.

That was a British country.

How did you get linked up with H&K, and do you have U.S. citizenship here?
10:12

10:24

It had to be the same.
6:53
You couldn't change anything because then the new guys would never be accepted the way it was.
7:01
Well, you didn't do what we did.
7:04
So the selection process is not hard.
7:08
If you prepare for it, like I was talking earlier on, you train for it, you do the right type of training, you do it.
7:16
It's not that hard.
7:18
It's an endurance.

No, I think I pro-grad myself because I also remember I had the advantage of doing one before and I got all the way up to the last day.
14:11
So nothing came as a shock.
14:15
One of the things they do is called sketch map.
14:19
And what they'll do is they'll give you a map.
14:22
Now, it's accurate.

It's called Camping.
34:23
They're called the Brecon Beacons, which is where SAS selection went as well.

Was World War II or the aftermath, I mean, was there scarring, you know, from that where you grew up? And was it something people talked about?
16:16
If there was, I was too young to notice because I was sort of in my own will.
16:22
My family, my mother had three older brothers.
16:25
Ken was in the signals, and he went up through North, went up through Europe after D-Day.
16:31
Arthur was in a Cheshire regiment, a machine gun battalion, and he landed with the Americans in his division in North Africa, in Morocco, Algeria, then went in and then went all the way up through Italy.
16:44
Then the next brother up, he was in the Navy, and he was on a shallow draft corvette, and they would go up and down all the rivers in Africa looking for U-boats that may have just docked up there for a while.
17:00
On my father's side, my grandfather enlisted in the Welsh regiment in 1920-21.
