We get the usual inaccuracies in the Aussie media - anything armoured even is it has wheels is a 'tank' the navy has 'battleships' and any missile used to be an 'exocet' after that little bruhaha you guys had in '82.
The reporting that really rankles with me being ex infantry is the way the media cannot seem to correctly name our regular infantry battalions. All the battalions are part of The Royal Australian Regiment, thus the 1st Battalion The Royal Australian Regiment is usually referred to as 1RAR, the second 2RAR etc. Not too difficult to understand. Acceptable forms:
The First Battalion, or 1 RAR, or (the full enchillada), The First Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment.
Instead the media continue to butcher unit names.... As simple phone call to Defence
PR, the unit, or pretty much ANY unit would sort this out in a sec, but apparently journalism doesn't include accuracy as one of its cherished standards anymore.
