With 2 divisions of paratroops he should be a general not a colonel.

Well, in fact 50 years later Russian mobsters decided it sounds like a perfect business plan and started racketing local military. It worked pretty well for them, as while in Russia, the military are just another clerks in public sector, overregulated and defenseless against an organized crime backed by local authorities / bosses. From what I heard, even those who participated in destroying Syria (and especially those as they were the ones paid handsomely) were successfully racketed when back in motherRussia. There's nothing more absurd than real life.

Re the start of the sketch and the young recruit's reason why he wanted to join the army... Just recently (late 2024/early 2025}, the British Army's latest recruiting videos feature as the real reason for joining up: (1) lots of lovely sport; (2) learning a useful trade (electrician).

Looking at this, I wonder if this was two separate sketches, one written by Idle and the other by Palin and Jones, that they then decided to put together.

Huh, the Colonel missed out on a great opportunity. For a mere 15 bob a week, the mafia would have been bound to protect the Army from any attack. It IS protection after all. Right? Even the coward would have liked the idea. The protection racket would be sent to fight instead of him.
@markdavis7397Ай бұрын
When I read the title, I thought it was the army engaging in a protection racket. That seems like fodder for a skit, because it is kind of true (you give army funding, they are supposed to protect you).

A mate of mine was accepted into the RAF aged 17. On his first day, the officer asked all the newbies if anyone had decided not to continue. My mate put his hand up and came home. From then on we used to call him the Squadron Leader.
