Maltese army adds considerably to the gaiety of nations

It looks like the whole of the internet world is shrieking with laughter at the Armed Forces of Malta 3rd Regiment’s antics with a Molotov cocktail.

Here’s a comment from an office God knows where in the English-speaking world that pretty much sums up the general feeling. I’m guessing I’m not Brigadier Jeffrey Curmi’s most favourite person right now. Well, that’s what happens when you’re not fit for purpose.

Imagine if all these people laughing at his men the world over knew, over and above this, that the Commander of the Armed Forces of Malta was promoted four times in as many weeks to reach his current position because he’s a chum of the prime minister – and imagine, too, if they were to see a picture of the Army Minister who created this mess, inspecting the troops like a human Humpty Dumpty with a jackboot fetish, buttons ready to pop.
