Sounds like the UK Guardsmen are in the same boat; heck, the DK and UK Guardsmen have very similar outfits (including the bearskin hats - those bastards gnaw at your skull like you would not believe! The first few times I wore it for longer than 45 minutes my skull was on fire and I thought I was bleeding). Still, we are considered the best regular troops since we have to learn the same combat routines as other regiments and perfect drills to a degree that's unheard of amongst other regiments in DK in the same amount of time that they have. Our morale also tends to be much higher than the other regiments; I don't know if that's the same in the UK?
Same as another other regiment really, we all think we're the Big Daddies and all others are big girl's blouses. Of course tankies are double the pleasure because whenever we're not in a tank we're redular infantry. Jack of all trades. Well, two at least.
