Yobs get a kicking for picking on some suits...
Discussion
This has made my Monday. I know I'm easy to please but this is great

TWO drunken yobs tried to start a fight with three strangers - who turned out to be the military's most decorated hard men.
The thugs, who had a Staffordshire bull terrier with them, got a surprise comeuppance after hurling abuse at the smartly-suited trio in a street.
They had no idea their intended "victims" were a hero Royal Marine, an Army captain and a VC-winning SAS hero.
The louts pushed and shoved the three men, attempting to provoke them into a punch-up.
After ignoring polite advice to "walk away" they suddenly found themselves on their backs while their vicious-looking dog fled yelping.
The incident happened as L/Cpl Matt Croucher, 26, and Captain Peter Norton, 47, both George Cross winners, were walking through central London with Aussie Cpl Mark Donaldson, 31, after a reception at Buckingham Palace. Though they were in civilian clothes they were wearing their medals on their chests.
A witness to the incident said: "It was a case of yobs picking on the wrong people.
"After they ended up on the ground the guys just calmly adjusted their suits and walked off."

If the Capt. is this guy (same age and GC winner) then he lost a leg and part of an arm in the event that earned him the GC. If this was visible to the yobs and they continued to attack, then they are even more scummy than before, if thats even possible.

Same again for the the soldiers. They should have pulled their ears off

That one always amazes me as there appears to be so little effort put into ending that fight, comprehensively.It must be nice to have that confidence in your ability!

So 2 thugs and a dog versus a Royal Marine who jumps on live grenades to save his mates, a Major in the Logistics Corp who lost an arm and a leg but still carried on advising his comrades about other suspect devices and an Australian SAS (Trooper F) who seems to use bullet repellent as a deodorant.

To even things up the yobs had been drinking special brew all day, which I assume was why they were a bit fighty in the first place. I had a mad scottish mate in the 80's who did martial arts as a teen and then all sorts of military hand to hand stuff later.
I watched a guy escalate an argument with him and finally attempt to shove his pint in my mates face. Half the pub got wet as the pint went flying and before you know what was going on the guy was being held face down on the pool table with one arm quite a long way behind him
