King Charles appoints Bear Grylls to new British Army recruiter role

The King’s latest move as Commander-in-Chief forms part of his plan to make joining the British Army more attractive to young people.

Bear Grylls has been made a figurehead for the United Kingdom’s young military recruits after the King appointed him Honorary Colonel of the Army Foundation College (AFC) in Harrogate.

The former SAS trooper and popular television adventurer’s new role will see him champion the spirit and camaraderie of the key military training base.

Grylls said he was “so proud” to have been appointed to the role.

Democrats Started Trying To Strip Trump’s Secret Service Protection Just Months Before Shooting

President Donald Trump was wounded in an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday months after House Democrats proposed legislation to remove his Secret Service protection.

Democrat Bennie Thompson, the ranking member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, introduced the Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act (HR 8081) on April 19. Democrat Reps. Yvette D. Clarke, Troy A. Carter Sr., Frederica Wilson, Bonnie Watson Coleman, Jasmine Crockett, Joyce Beatty, Barbara Lee, and Steve Cohen co-sposnsored the bill.

“Former President Donald J. Trump’s unprecedented 91 felony charges in Federal and State courts across the country have created a new exigency that Congress must address to ensure Secret Service protection does not interfere with the criminal judicial process and the administration of justice,” Thompson wrote in a fact sheet regarding the act. “The DISGRACED Former Protectees Act would terminate Secret Service protection for individuals who otherwise qualify for it upon sentencing following conviction for a Federal or State felony.”
