The word is "rappels" - descending a rope. On a more important note, the only thing discernable for certain from the available evidence is that the article is riddled with errors relating to military unit and MOS minutia. There is no evidence that the Prime Minister's visit to Walter Reed Hospital did not occur - the fact is, it did.
Yet you pronounce it a "fraud". The word fraud connotes a deliberate intent to deceive - there is absolutely no evidence of this. An accurate statement would be that the premise of the article is truthful, but the article is somewhat flawed by the carelessness of the author. So, why did you use the word?
I'm sorry that I implied that as a whole the article was a fraud.
I did not dismiss the PM, rather the information the reporter put out was inaccurate, or was fiction.
I'm glad the PM visited, but I'm disturbed that the author could not get basic Military facts correct. And, I find that anything she will report and has reported is not accurate.
