The usual Pprune shi*e spouts forth...Like Andyy, I have worked with General in question - he is a top bloke, came through the rather hard route to where he is and is a mountain-bear of a man. There is no hiding with him.
As said above, 9(Para)Sqn RE was never an easy walk to P Coy - people were broken before even getting to Depot Para - he passed. I winced at the state of some of the Sappers on my visit to Depot Para for the extra sessions of PT with boots on.
So...give it a rest about 'Wrong example, one rule for one etc' He is a General, there to do General stuff, to lead (and he can, very well).
Maybe the RAF could do with some like him?
