I did, but rather a long time ago. Doubt they would want me now

If they're desperate, I'll give it a go despite being 86! Will they let me have a go in a Spitfire on the first day? I don't fancy all the bullshine they inflicted on us in the army last time I was called upon, much against my will.

Don't think I would be much good to them, among other things they wouldn't want I'm scared of flying.

I could talk in a poncy voice like Alvar Liddell and manipulate the cannon fodder
into going off and dying for WTF . . . but, unfortunately, my morals might get in the way.

OH did 25 years - Falklands, Northern Ireland etc. but it is hilarious seeing how brave he is when dealing with the kitten's litter tray!
He deliberately stayed in bed longer this morning so that I had to come down and sort out the baby.
