What sort of a country are we living in?
My condolences go out to yet another RAF family who have suffered a loss.
This time though, we see the loss of an obviously dedicated young man who wished to forge a career of excellence, through his studies, through his OTC service, his aspirations to join the commissioned ranks of the Army and his commendable belief of right and wrong.
He paid the price on behalf of being right and intervening on something that was wrong.
Why has this young man gone from our ranks as such?
He did what was correct. He steppped in. He intervened. He did what was in his spirit.
It is with much sorrow that a future officer shall not be there to serve Queen and Country.
But I think he already has.
