I can't believe the crap that is flying around as the result of this ''high jinks'' prank.
As a Vietnam Vet, I fail to see the benefit of making a huge deal out of a mild stunt that is carried out regularly in many other areas of society.
If there are serious penalties to come out of this, I think its a sad day for our military.
Just goes to show how the PC BS has invaded every facet of our society, thanks to screeching radicals on power trips.
I notice nothing is being mentioned of the behaviour of senior officers at parties in the officers mess .. now, that's one thing that NEVER reaches the news, does it?? ..
These flyboys have obviously only just realised what MASSIVE EXPOSURE and INFAMY means .. and the reach, of that all-encompassing charge .."conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline .."
If these blokes get seriously penalised for this minor infringement .. God help us for some of the stunts, we pulled as young men in the military .. we would still be in jail.
Hopefully, the entire episode will die a natural death, because of the efforts of some understanding officers, who can cut some slack .. and under the weight of other overwhelming news, such as American Presidential elections, hostages in Iraq, Govt Ministerial indiscretions, etc, etc .....
