Default Re: Things I Learned/Realised from Watching War Movies
From the official rulebook on British warmovies.

There are three character types in the army.

1. Private/Corporal. A lazy Cockney that generally can't be bothered about the Army, but saves the day.

2. Sergeant/Engeneer Generally a northerner or a Scot who is gruff and fond of discipline. Towards the end of the movie we learn that he has a heart of gold.

3. Any officer type. An aristo with an accent so posh it can cut a VW beetle in half. Witty and charming. Preferably highly eccentric and/or a bit dim.
