Notwithstanding the tragedy of the incidents highlighted, is this not a very dangerous path to take. Decisions sometimes have to be taken in a very short space of time and under extreme pressure. The very nature of the job means that there is no guarantee that all the 'what if's' can be covered. If we now go down the road where every soldier/sailor/airman can use the law of hindsight to sue their Commanders then we may end up doing nothing because those empowered with the authority to make decisions may not want to risk subsequent legal action.
I know this will be an emotive subject and any risk, no matter how small, should be minimised but, having elected to wear uniform and serve, does it not also mean that you may have to take risks that would be unacceptable in any other line of work.
