Brits Still Bitter Over Surrendering Marines

That is, if you judge it by this Ebay Item.  Its a “Royal Marine Surrender Kit, and it contains a package of zipties, a white flag, a pen and notepad to write your capture memoirs, and a black blindfold. 

Operating instructions included say:

1. Actions on sighting enemy gun boat, place all weapons on the deck.
2. Calmly raise both hands into the air.
3. Reach into the Royal Marines surrender pouch and withdraw the issue white flag.
4. Then take out the issued plasty cuffs as the enemy wont be expecting the sudden surrender without a fight. last thing we want to do is antagonize them!
5. Blame the female for the navigation error.
6. Once encamped in enemy POW camp use the issue pen & notepad to start recording your experience`s for the big payout from the press on release!

Points to note!

The RM issue flag has been tried and tested in multiple theatre’s of operations from the Falklands to Iran, it measures 6″ X 10″ and can easily be seen from at least 1000 metres in open water.

The Royal Marines could fight if they were allowed to, right?  Thanks to the Reg for the story.
