Rupert Everett Trashes British Soldiers

I'm not sure what got into Rupert Everett, but lately he's just been trashing everyone and everything in his path. He's basically become a whirlwind of bitchery...like Andy Dick except you don't want to bathe him in acid until his flesh melts into a puddle of goop and then hose the goop down the drain.

Rupert's not afraid who he takes on either...that's what I admire about him. Recently he even had the balls to attack the British military, whom he branded a bunch of whining wimps:

They are always whining about the dangers of being killed. Oh my God, they are such wimps now!

The whole point of being in the Army is wanting to get killed, wanting to test yourself to the limits. Now you have to fly 15,000 ft above the war zone to avoid getting hit.

I don't think there is any point in having wars if that's how you're going to behave. It's pathetic. All this whining!

Naturally Rupert is getting ripped for this...but I think people are kind of missing the point. The problem isn't that Rupert accused soldiers of being whiners...it's that he accused today's soldiers of being whiners while glorifying the manliness of the soldiers of yesteryear.

I hate to break it to Rupert, but soldiers have always been whiners. Anyone who knows anything about military history realizes this. Soldiers bitch about everything...just ask any reporter who's ever traveled with them. It goes with the territory. And frankly, if you're willing to risk getting your head blown off or being disemboweled or having something else nasty happen to you, I think you're entitled to a whine if you want one.

But it's okay because I still like Rupert. You never know what shit is going to come out of his head next.
