Scientists have revealed what they say is the face of the perfect soldier after blending the features of several top movie stars. The structure of a person's cheekbones, jawline and brow could be an indicator as to whether they have the right face for war - or if they would be better off staying at home, the researchers claim. I reckon we should have all stayed at home then - Jeez, what a load of bollocks!Do you look like this? >>

I think - firstly, as you lot do, that this is pure horse-shit - that the 'face of a soldier' is typically like the human skeletons from the Western Front in WW1; the marines who came ashore at Iwo Jima; the minging, lined face of a squaddie after too many patrols and stags; the hollow-cheeked, drained expression and black-edged eyes of the soldier after patroling in Helmand; the face of a Confederate soldier, hunched against the enormous volleys of fire as he advances over open ground at Gettysburg. I could go on - but when did Hollywood ever have anything to do with reality? I remember seeing a documentary once - a US marine from WW2 was telling of a time when John Wayne, in full cowboy gear, turned up at a field hospital full of wounded soldiers from the pacific war. He just says 'Hi' - and they start booing him, until eventually Wayne takes the hint and leaves. Why did they boo him? "Because he represented everything we joined up for, and his portrayal had been a lie, that was found out during bloody beach assaults costing thousands of lives'.
