Regarding the stresses on the Reds... Family life with overseas camps and displays; no weekends off for what, 6 months in each year? Not easy, I'm sure. But they all knew the cheque they were writing, more so in contrast with constant deployments in the front line. That doesn't validate bad behaviour, in the perpetrator or the onlooker. In my opinion.

Disbandment? Not sure that's right, but in a raggedy-arsed, 'is it 9, 7, 5 or what'; and people being named and shamed- a stand down and rebuild might be in order. If the service doesn't then reinstate, then the Reds were out of time anyway, perhaps.

Finally, the "You aren't a jet pilot, so you can't possibly comprehend...", standpoint is bollocks, by the way.
