The fact that so many people have died as a direct result of the mismanagement of safety by VSOs and MOD over many years is bad enough. The fact that, in at least one case, innocent victims of this policy were blamed for the resultant accident is appalling. The fact that it took a 13 year campaign initiated by the parents to clear their sons' names should bring shame on all those VSOs, Ministers and the MOD is absolutely disgraceful. It also justifies family members of existing military personnel having the right to speak out.
