Betty,
Please explain why you are getting so irrate with my responce to what buoy15 said? Why are you not asking him to explain his comments to you?
The comments came from him Sir, NOT me. I was merely agreeing with him!
I did not suggest for a second or in any way that the captain of XV230 didn't scrub because of his career, and you should stop reading more into peoples' postings than is actually there.
I am also an ex MR2 captain, and I am well aware of the pressures on captains, especially in 'wartime' to complete the mission at all costs. That is not to say that anyone did or would, but as buoy15 says (another ex MR2 Captain) 'he would no longer be a Captain despite having the balls to protect his crew'
Might I suggest you direct your question to him and not me? Maybe he will be able to give you a more 'current' answer than me.
