BASSA are obviously pursuing a "scorched earth" policy. They realise they are on the way to a very heavy, probably terminal defeat.
They wish their legacy to be a generation of dysfunctional crew whose attitudes have been irredeemably poisoned. This seems a fitting epitaph for such a dysfunctional organisation.
I am pretty confident we will be able to rise above it, and in a few years time will be able to say
"Do you remember BASSA?"
"Nope, nor do I."
