Episode 12: Insults, Bayonets & Banter – Savage Military Humour, British Army Roasts & Veteran Stories

This week on The Muster Point Podcast, hosts Stu and Steve dive into the darkly hilarious world of military insults, savage banter, and the brutal poetry of squaddie putdowns. From basic training to the barrack room, we explore the legendary one-liners, soul-destroying burns, and nickname nightmares that only the military could produce.

If you’ve ever been called something that made you laugh, cry, or both at once – this episode is for you. It's pure veteran humour meets drill square drama, with real stories from listeners, a few old favourites, and plenty that couldn’t be said on civvy street.
