Why are you discussing it here?
Go somewhere else or start a new Forum/thread!
(e.g. Barrackroom Lawyers - free useless advice offered)
The reason why this case, rightly or wrongly, is being discussed is because it was instanced as an example of lack of leadership. I would say that whatever the facts of the case it seems to meet that criteria. Even, or perhaps especially, military justice must not only be done, but must be seen to be done. Here, on the face of it, is a case where it wasn't, if the cynical advice quoted was in fact given. This thread is entitled "RAF meltdown - Has it begun?". The posts relating to this story may not answer that question, but if the simple answer to that question is yes, they may well indicate why!
