In the Past, To Be a british Officer you had to be Born into an extremely rich priveleged family, And the Rankers were the Criminals and the poor.

Britain is always trying to change itself completly from what it used to be like.

I would be a lot more concerned with who is running the army than who is working for the army.


This too will pass.

It was like that upto the 20th century. Officers were The Upper class Snobs and the 'common soldiers' were poverty stricken murderers, theives....etc
