“But you have to admit, their being accorded hero status for no other reason than we are slim on heros, is not good military practice and can be counter productive.”
They haven’t been accorded hero status in the UK, on the contrary.....
And that is as it should be.
Their case will shake out and soon we will know everything.
No doubt, when they were instructed to stand down and not engage, they must have gone through some confusion.
My chief bone to pick, on this thread, is that “hero” status has been accorded to a commander who willingly gave our enemy state secrets. And then got a medal for it.
I am extremely frustrated with the state of our feminized military.
