I would rather be on a Sqn serving with these two chaps than with some of the whiter than white, holier than thou, politically correct, sniffling, back stabbing, gutless, hypocritical, arm chair morons that have posted some quite incredible posts here.
They got drunk! So what, it’s hardly the end of the world or a crime against humanity. They should have been able to play their Joker, got a slapped wrist and allowed to continue with their job. And I don’t care if they were two Flt Lts, or the Boss and his 2ic.
They probably had a reason for doing what they did and it is probably a reason that 99.9 percent of the population could never understand or experience. And of all people, we, who have served in dodgy situations, should cut them some slack. The rest of you will never understand.
It’s because of the ability of the internet, fast communication to the ordinary public and the callous reporting by certain newspapers, alongside a weak, politically correct and gutless leadership that has led to a complete over reaction to this incident. It will be the downfall of us all.
