We used to do things properly.

If I’m going to get murdered, better by a posh bloke than an Afghan! 🤣

Colonel Mitchell was the last of them & was hounded out of the Army for having the determination & morale to do so My father introduced me to him briefly when I was about 10, when dad & I bumped i to him in the barbers. I was struck by how polite, well dressed & intense he was.

Sorry to my granny etc in advance. But 🇬🇧 needs 10 copies of this guy for any US, EU or international diplomatic delegation. Britain retreated from its place on the world stage and look what's happened since.

My great-grandfather fought with Mac Mitch in Aden. Very brave men in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlands.

Mad Mitch a legend

What a nice man

Incredibly. 🥹

Love him

Mad Mitch. Proper officer.

Colin Mitchell (aka "Mad Mitch"). What a legend. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

Well said Lt Col ‘Mad’ Mitch. But he was shafted by the Wilson government soon after this. Politicians, as ever, ‘supporting’ their troops in their own inimitable way (applies to both Labour and Conservative), as we now see over Northern Ireland veterans.

"If anyone starts any trouble, they'll just get their head blown off" 😂 😂 legend

Was those lads (argyles) and Northumberland fusiliers protecting us in Aden, 65-67, terrorists lobbing hand grenades over the fence 100m from our house! I was 7 and remember being annoyed at it interrupting Batman on TV

My old man was just out of camera when that was filmed.

We could really do with someone like him as CGS today 😢

Mad Mitch he was known as former commanding office of my Regiment a man with balls of steel

I love this guy’s no nonsense attitude, absolute legend.

@mehercle The legend of Colin Campbell Mitchell aka "mad mitch" 🪖🫡 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Ah yes, go into a place where you aren't wanted, have no right to be, brutalise and abuse the local population and then excuse it in such lah-di-dah, plummy tones. And still get your arses kicked back home by the insurgents. Quite a strategy the British colonial army followed.

@mehercle Biggest cap badge in the British army 🪖🇬🇧

Highlanders are the best of us

Saying that standing on another man’s land. Colonialist cunt.

His posh accent 🤣🤣cracks me up

Mad Mitch

🤣

… and then feminism came and cocked it all up.

Mad Mitch for PM

😂😂😂 Cool

Back when the army wasn’t afraid to let people find out when they fucked around.

And then it was destroyed.

Was this who tgey called mad mitch from the arglies and sutherland highlanders

looks like one of those videos that do satirical historical voiceovers
