Grumpy, middle aged civvie loser, on the button old chap, I am a little bit like that thesedays. I fancy an ASBO myself as a bit of a status symbol. Banter is banter and being abusive is just that. Its a fine line, mylast post was to show what offensive is, I don't think you have quite sussed this out yet.
I have worked with good army, bad army, good RAF, bad RAF. If someone screws up then they screw up, whatever the service. Bringing up past incidents and talking about those who are without sin etc etc does not cut the mustard. Blindly protecting people just because they are army doesn't work either. They were idiots, just admit it, you will feel better....
