Weird country, Australia. Apparently one can travel half the globe to kick a dictator's *rse for false reasons, risking military lives in the proces, but one cannot enjoy a bit of banter and deal with it by giving the crew a month of KP on top of their regular duties and leave it at that.
I would think that the ADF is sending the wrong message to the people they try to attract and the people they have sworn to protect. If you want civil servants who will not upset the PC citizens, employ the girl scouts. But expect them to fight like girl scouts.
If you want real warriors, you'll have to accept that occasionaly they'll embarrass themselves and the ADF becaus their aptitude for lateral thinking just took an unexpected turn.
But then, I also enjoyed the banter in the Oxford crash thread..perhaps I'm completely out of touch with reality
