He almost certainly did give his consent at some point while signing his life away on the dotted line.

I think I would if I had to, never really given much thought when I was younger. But would want to give my children the best chance, hence why I voted out.
Sorry, I don’t follow what you mean?
Yes, I have seen the program mentioned, but not sure what you are implying.
I'd have thought those considering joining the Army would partially be doing it as it's a respected role, what with risking life and limb, and considered honourable service to the country. A PR campaign branding soldiers with that word and all the other derogatory labels thrown at young people, for all the public to associate the army with and it's personnel, is just a really naff idea in my opinion.
I couldn't imagine universities, apprenticeship schemes, or any job for that matter, leading with '********** apply here!'-type slogans, but then a few years ago I couldn't imagine the army doing it either.
dunno...but unless the enemy's army is much older for some reason then it'll still be ********* vs *********??
Not many other countries we’d be up against have a ********* generation.

So insult people to join up? Which idiots came up with that campaign !
All the more so because the people they're targetting for their compassion don't have much if any.
The filmer sounds like a proper moron
He's probably infantry, they have an average reading age of circa 11 years old. Still, not really a place for **********.

I first saw this nearly 20 years. The youngsters today can expect to be lead by the finest examples of the officer class. Below is a list of snippets from forces performance reports:
- His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of curiosity.
- I would not breed from this Officer.
- This Officer is really not so much of a has-been, but more of a definitely won't-be.
- When she opens her mouth, it seems that this is only to change whichever foot was previously in there.
- He has carried out each and every one of his duties to his entire satisfaction.
- He would be out of his depth in a car park puddle.
- Technically sound, but socially impossible.
- This Officer reminds me very much of a gyroscope - always spinning around at a frantic pace, but not really going anywhere.
- This young lady has delusions of adequacy.
- When he joined my ship, this Officer was something of a granny; since then he has aged considerably.
- This Medical Officer has used my ship to carry his genitals from port to port, and my officers to carry him from bar to bar.
- Since my last report he has reached rock bottom, and has started to dig.
- She sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.
- He has the wisdom of youth, and the energy of old age.
- This Officer should go far - and the sooner he starts, the better.
- In my opinion this pilot should not be authorized to fly below 250 feet.
- This man is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.
- The only ship I would recommend this man for is citizenship.
- Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap.

Parachute London’s stabby ferals into enemy territory and tell them the enemy is punting drugs on their manor.
Let them fight for a week then TLAM the survivors.
