"A forum for the professionals who fly the non-civilian hardware, and the backroom boys and girls without whom nothing would leave the ground. Army, Navy and Airforces of the World, all equally welcome here".
And the requirement for purely aviation topics in this forum is outlined - where?
Hmmmm........the 'post' prompts some Service specific comment - does that do?

"A forum for the professionals who fly the non-civilian hardware" Clue No 2.
"and the backroom boys and girls without whom nothing would leave the ground" Clue No 3.
Oh and get this the biggest clue of all. PPRuNe. Professional Pilots Rumour Network.
If it is that important to you, tell us why you think the Army has a race problem. Better still go to ARRSE and ask the same question, there are a few more Soldiers on that forum.

Oh dear.
My immediate thought was that Soldier Magazine was paying the price for having gone the way of so many other service publications and been left in the 'capable hands' of a contract publishing company, which had inevitably got it wrong.
Instead it seems that Soldier suffers a fate worse even than contract publishing and is actually produced by the MoD* itself. I am therefore not at all surprised that it is capable of such a massive cock up as this one.
Muppets !!!

*MoD being the natural abbreviation for Massive Owngoal Debacle or similar

Old news.
I think it was posted in here because the RN have RumRation, the Army have ARRSE and the RAF have errr, E-Goat and the OP wanted some service views on it perhaps?

What gets my goat is the peremptory "Discuss" that some people feel is necessary. If a topic is worthy of discussion then that is what will happen - we do not need to be ordered to do it.

So how many registered complaints were there? Or is all this being stirred up by a journo with nothing better to do?
Total non event, how about asking the soldier in question why it was there and what it was intended to convey, he didn't go to Afghanistan to prepare for a photo shoot. The idea that he should be disciplined is just too stupid to contemplate, the mans at war, for Chrissake!
