What manner of men are these who wear the red beret?
They are firstly, all
volunteers and are then toughened by hard physical training. As a result
they have that infectious optimism and that offensive eagerness which comes
from physical well being. They have jumped from the air and by doing so have
conquered fear.
Their duty lies in the van of
battle; they are proud of their honour and have never failed in any task.
They have the highest standards in all things whether it be skills in battle
or smartness in execution of all peacetime duties.
They have shown themselves to
be as tenacious and determined in defence as they are courageous in attack.
They are in fact, men apart.
Every Man an Emperor."
Field Marshall the Viscount
Montgomery of Alamein.
