I agree with Wrathmonk, can you honestly see many of our VSOs releasing a statement like Maj Gen Gurganus following his censure?
Having worked with US Marines fairly recently, I can honestly say that across the ranks they are an extremely professional bunch; fiercely loyal to each other. If they mess up they immediately take responsibility for their (and their subordinates) actions; you just don’t see much of that in the RAF today, my branch in particular.
I do hope the UK investigation (I assume there was one) is as far reaching and thorough.
