"Pretending that this is a civilised discourse, I offer a small vote for Set18's point of view."
...and I have to say I agree with the both of you! Regardless of the situation, co-ercion, duress etc they may have been under, my over riding impression was they came across as having the demeanour of a group of schoolkids on a trip away. Sorry, but that's what watching them reminded me of.
Agreed. I wasn't there. I don't know what they went through. But as aformer R2I Instructor I had to wonder what they were briefed to do. Schoolkids on an awayday seems to fit the bill (bar one or two of them). I am afraid that I can understand where our colonial cousins are coming from, some are a bit OTT, but aren't we just being a bit precious? Some of the recent footage did not present HM Forces in a good light. Full Stop.
