“What is it about a group of young, fit, chunky soldiers that sends my head in a spin? I’ve never dated a soldier. None of my friends have dated a soldier. I don’t know any men who have ever been a soldier. But if I’m watching a film. Usually a gung ho, patriotic, stars and stripes DVD with the likes of Tom Cruise or Brad ‘yummy’ Pitt charging around putting law and order back in the world, I get that lip biting moment we all get when David Beckham flashes a cheeky grin at the camera.

But not even gorgeous ‘golden balls’ himself can compete with a handsome warrior decked in combat trousers and a white, tight fitting, vest stretched over a muscley physique! You know the look girls! The one on the calendars at Christmas time with biceps ready to wrap around you and squeeze you tight. Forearms strong and masculine. Shoulders rounded and shaped. Short cropped hair and piercing eyes.
