Together with his buddies "Darky Charlie", "Gypo Carlos" and "Donnie the Wop" I doubt I'd stand a chance...

Ah. It's nice when someone picks up on those deliberate typos. Although I do think it would be splendid if Stephen Fry was in command of the British troops in Iraq.

Yay! General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett ftw!

There already seems to be a descendant of Gen Melchett's ADC Capt Darling in charge of the UK treasury... perhaps there's a cunning plan to have the cast of Blackadder launch a comedy coup?

Ignore them. They don't appreciate what it takes, and you are right to be proud of your brother there are very very few who join in the ranks and go on to be an officer.

As far as I can tell it's more a dig at the MOD, not your brother.
