Brig Lowe said: '[Maj Graham] was vindictive, abusing his position of responsibility and the trust placed in him. His conduct wronged the complainant and acted against the interests of the Army. We recommend his chain of command consider Major Graham's position, including whether disciplinary action is warranted.'
It only takes one complete knob like this to break down years of trust and respect. The AAC has done an admirable job of training aircrew to work collaboratively, despite the Commissioned versus Enlisted barriers that naturally make this difficult. If you can't manage a senior experienced WO without resorting to vindictive and petty punitive actions that directly affect a soldier's life and career, you shouldn't even be serving, let alone serving in a career manning role. The £400k should be docked from this reptile's wages, along with those who were complicit. Kudos to the 1 star for not brushing this under the carpet, which would have been a much easier option.
