No way they'd have let me serve in the military, 1-2-O!
I was the one who organised a massive show of disrespect to Field Marshal Montgomery when he came to inspect our CCF [Combined Cadet Force].
My decision to even be in this ludicrous - and compulsory - organisation was that it would be more fun to be in it and sabotage it than be outside the loop. But my way was much more Good Soldier Schwejk than these loons who were at the very least given far too long a leash in Iraq.
Regardless of that I hope that your inference is not that ONLY someone who has been in the military has the right to have an opinion about what happens in the military? The same argument would mean that only someone who has been in a concentration camp would have the right to an opinion about that? Or only someone who was in Hiroshima on August 6th 1945 can have a valid opinionm about that. Or am I completely misunderstanding your point?!

You are partly misunderstanding my point, which I hope has been made clearer by other responses in this thread. I do think that someone who had actually served in the military would have been more aware of HOW such things can happen, and thus less likely to go on a political head-hunting expedition. But the questions in this this article seem fairly reasonable, although the tone suggested to me that there were no veterans involved in their formulation.
