Rupert Everett has done the gutless thing and apologized for his controversial statements about the wimpiness of today's soldier.
Rupert directed his apology at the "many in this country, and hundreds and thousands of others across the world who have lost their brothers and sisters, their fathers and mothers to the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and all the countless others."
Then he tried to explain himself by saying he was attempting to compare the soldier of Victorian times, when war was romanticized, to today's more pragmatic soldier.
"I compared [the 19th Century soldier's] longing to get into battle to the way we engage in war today. Then death was glorious. Today it is what it really is. Each and every death is a terrible tragic loss."
Weak Rupert. Seriously. You called them whining wimps. And now you've wimped out yourself by issuing this apology. What happened? Get a few emails from angry soldiers threatening to beat your little faggoty ass? Yeah, like that's never happened before.
