What's wrong with stirring speeches from General K?
I mean, " kick the crap out of 'em" ain't Henry V, nor is it Churchill, not even (more appropriate I am sure) General Macarthur (spelling). Hoo Harr!
Anyway I am sure he didn't mean it as it sounds. Perhaps some idiomatic lost in translation.
I say that because even he can't expect the stiffening of sinews or closing of breaches with English Dead to include greyhounds in the slips such as "Ashley Bites yer legs Young" or Chopper Downing". Can he?
Oh well, I suppose it is better than "Let's be 'avin you..."
