dCa, that is what social media is for isn't it?
I think most, if not all, have managed to agree that the actual severity can't be judged from the perspective of a mobile phone video.
The point of view, as I interpret it, is that in the civilian world that style of flying is unnecessary and not representative of good judgement (irrespective of how far along in the 50 shades of flying grey the manoeuvre may actually be).

The military have different.rules for a very different role and what may be perfectly acceptable in that environment could be career limiting in another.
When the elastomeric bearings have to be replaced before their time that may not be a concern for Johnny taxpayer but for the owner of a civilian aircraft trying to eek out as much margin as possible, it will not sit as well.
