Welcome to the Jungle ...

The British Army has apologized for a photo posted on Twitter. The photo shows a soldier with a black painted face in the jungle, making a funny face. There was a small politically correct shitstorm on Twitter, which raised the white flags of the British Army.

"Being a soldier in the jungle requires a robust sense of humor," the tweet text reads. Experts also understand why the man has a painted face, which has nothing to do with "blackfacing," but with camouflage. "The black face combined with the words 'sense of humor' seems racist," one comment reads. Many are disturbed by the grimace on the face. "Whoever is administering the British Army's social media channel looks very stupid now and should be ashamed," another post reads.

A spokesperson for the British Army commented on the negative response, stating that it could indeed be that some people misinterpreted the photo. However, the tweet with the image was deleted shortly afterwards. Some see the reaction as a kind of "cowardice in the face of (stupid) enemy." "I am very disappointed that you deleted the tweet. The Army should be solid and convincing, not give in," a steadfast follower of the fallen British Army tweeted.
