well with respect, if a british part time soldier had been insubordinate to a us officer, or an aussie officer, or a polish officer he would have been dealt wih severely.


And your views do not reflect the views of the "men within the ranks" in the uk, a number of whom i have spoken to.

OK, UKian soldiers are different than everybody else on Earth. They welcome the company of busted officers.

I am afraid you missed the point of my post. So, let me make it a little bit more clear. This is a dust-up between officers in circumstances which are a bit unclear. A "preliminary report" is also not a "final report" or a "court martial decision". All the officers and ex-officers are responding to the story the same way officers and ex-officers always do, and that sort of behavior is considered both unnatural and highly offensive to enlisted personnel.
