Major Loden is no doubt under a lot of stress, but if he wants to let off steam (as we all do from time to time) he might want to do it in private, not by email! The last time I was in Afghanistan, we suffered many problems caused by Army interference in the light blue environment. Instead of moaning by email I kept it to slagging them off in the 12 x 12 with the boys!
Surely as a Major (and according to a report Company Commander) he isn't naive enough to think his comments wouldn't be reproduced and re-broadcast. If this was in a private email, it's grossly unfair to him to have it published in the public forum. If however, he's included them in a UPREP or SITREP, he has been a trifle hysterical and naive.
Does anybody else sense a bit of politics going on in the background at MOD? How does this get leaked, who leaks it and with what agenda?
Hope Task Force Butler keeps doing the job! Well done fellas!
