If true the hounding of the individuals is absolutely diabolical. Unfortunately I saw enough examples of a higher authority putting the blame on an individual lower down the food chain to cover up for their own mistakes. On one occasion I was "ordered" to charge one of my Sgt's by a MOD civil servant (B2) in an attempt to shift the blame away from his department. Of course I refused and suddenly all went quiet and the equipment concerned (which was under trial) scrapped and not brought into service.
