Wrong answer. Never ever condone this type of behavior amongst your juniors. Those who lack the wherewithal and even decency to give a damn about their fellow man, will be the exact same losers who frag their own forces because of some emotional tirade.

Interesting to note that this is the same British LtCol referenced as a hero who ordered a US Army Major to stand at attention while junior personnel walked by mutering insults and ignoring protocol.

These reports are highly irregular. Both might be completely false. They might also point to an arrogant command lacking wherewithal.

IMHO, both warrant an investigation within the British command structure to get to the bottom of the issue and issue appropriate orders/action.

Not the same person. The last paragraph reads, "The Bartlam and Collins incidents are not connected."

Not the same guy. The end of the article tries to make this point but it can be a bit misleading reading it for the first time.

Excellent point.
