Well beardy, I find myself agreeing with you. As previously stated, we have to respect the verdict of the Court on the other three counts and it was a guilty plea on Negligence (Shame there isn't a charge of temporarily of being an idiot, something I think we could/would all plead to for past indiscretions, if we were being honest)
I am still of the opinion that had this been handled differently, by several parties, this would have resulted in a hats on with the AOC and a couple of years loss of Captaincy/seniority. MoD would then have paid out to those injured and the world would continue to turn AND we would have all learnt a valuable lesson.
However my itch still needs scratching.
