I entirely agree with Beagle on this one. I stopped reading the thread after the third or fourth post because I found it offensive to the memory of those who gave their lives. Neither am I a moderator, but if I was, this is one that I would have deleted without hesitation; Danny is far more tolerant than I.
Banter should be fun and not cause offence. Hence that thread cannot be described that way. And I am sorry, Jacko, that you chose to link back to it - you have earned a lot of respect from me and other professional military men on this forum, and supporting gutter subjects can only damage that fine reputation.
