I don't blame the guys and girl for cashing in if they are allowed/encouraged to do so! 100k would be more than enough for me to bang in the PVR and look for a new job.
What is wrong is that they are being allowed to do so!!!! WRONG WRONG WRONG! THERE ARE FAR MORE EXCITING AND ENDURING STORIES OF COURAGE ( oops caps lock!) out there to be told but a nobody is trying to and B they aren't allowed under the official secrets act.
Pigskingamabob the tornado aircrew you refer to waited till they left the mob before they cashed in, and were significantly worse treated than the 15 Naval personnel.
