OVERWEIGHT middle-aged men who the army could not use even to soak up bullets have demanded recruitment ads be aimed directly at them.
The men, who have never fought in a war but still act like beating the Nazis was somehow down to them, have spoken out against new adverts targeted at young people.
Denys Finch Hatton of Hereford said: “Gay? Gay? We need fighting bloody men, like me and my friends down the Rotary Club would’ve been if we’d joined up when we were younger, which we didn’t.
“They don’t want men with crying and sexualities. They want proper lads who’ll take out Jerry – or whoever – with a steady trigger finger and a devilish smile playing about their lips.”
Army recruiter Nikki Hollis said: “Oddly enough, paunchy gentlemen who wheeze at the top of stairs and shout ‘Traitor!’ at Huw Edwards are not our preferred recruitment demographic.
“We need fresh-faced, healthy young people who are trans-friendly, unafraid to cry and are ready to turn their anger at the state of the country into violence against others.
“Will they, when trained killers, realise that it’s the red-faced bastards’ fault they can’t buy a house and turn on them? Could do. Could do. Still, not my problem.”
