The URL has a special meaning. It's not really gentlemen gentlemen. It's a portrayal of a military club/rest area - called the mess (similar to the NAAFI) and that within the mess, Officers and NCOs are referred to as "Gentlemen"

This week, Britain’s most senior military chiefs met with their US counterparts as a group, bringing them together as a Combined Chiefs of Staff Committee for the first time since 1948. This time, the Chiefs were not discussing current or prospective operations but instead met to discuss the strategic challenges the UK and US militaries may face in the future.
The meeting in Washington reinforced the close alliance between the two countries’ Armed Forces, after a decade in which UK and US forces have been routinely involved in combat operations together. The end of combat operations in Afghanistan next year seems likely to represent an inflection point. This meeting therefore provided a timely opportunity for the Service Chiefs to consider the future challenges both militaries can expect to face during a period of uncertainty in the international strategic environment and continuing pressure on the resources that will be available for defence. The Chiefs reviewed the circumstances in which UK and US forces seem likely to operate together in future, and the need to continue to develop interoperability between our forces.
