Jeremy Corbyn

Live rounds, paint balls, it's all irrelevant. It is the symbolism. As Paul quoted earlier this probably happens regularly and no one cares, it is army humour. Posting it in the current climate of threats against MPs is unbelievably stupid though and likely to cost them their careers. It is almost a Darwinian moment.

Probably seemed a good idea at the time as most of these things do but someone should surely have been aware of the bigger picture. Can any of those serving/served educate the rest of us about possible consequences. Clearly I can see a court martial of some description, but is this act serious enough to warrant a discharge, and is it because of the current circumstances around threats to MP's as others have said this sort of thing has happened historically without this fall out.

Don’t take it personally!
Talking about Court Martial etc is completely over reacting, the Army will be seen to be taking action and that action will depend on the rank/ranks involved, if it’s Privates it will probably be no more than a warning and a couple of education briefs.
Any NCO’s involved will probably get a slap on the wrist, 12 month delay in any further promotions etc.
We have to remember this is lads serving in an Operational Theater letting off some steam.
One probably sent it back to the UK, without thinking, to a mate for a laugh and they shared it and so on.
Publicity wise in the current climate it’s not good, but if it had been a picture of Ronaldo or George Clooney would of anyone cared? No.

That makes perfect sense. Daft as it was, surely its sensible to deal with it in house without wasting all that cash training top level soldiers to then kick them out over something as you say, to let off steam in an operational area. It's scary how sometimes the do gooders and know it alls on social media demand instant and full punishment when the services have been dealing with this kind of incident for decades and no the line between letting off steam and maliciousness. Either way I thought it was quite funny!
 
I see that Corbyn's new Scottish policy advisor is saying that the break up of the UK is inevitable and that he should back Indyref 2.
SLAB finally realise that their is little support for the Union from the remnants of their members.

Do keep up, why do you think all that cash has been spent on Welsh/Scottish devolution. Goes back many years...
