Daily Fail articles frequently do look bad. As I understand it the idea of adopting naval ranks was an idea that was proposed within the Corps, and rejected, and not something that the wider naval Service tried to impose. Likewise, Why would the RN leadership want to denigrate the RM relationship with the USMC when the RN as a whole benefits from a close relationship with the USN and USMC?
Why turn a tragedy into a witch hunt? Is this just a particularly nasty smear campaign?
