As it turns out, it's not only the First Sea Lord and the Chief of Defence who want to turn British soldiers and sailors into post-modernist, culturally sensitive cowards.
The BBC is also doing its best to make sure that dignity and heroism are forgotten in Great Britain.

The BBC is also doing its best to make sure that dignity and heroism are forgotten in Great Britain.
As reported by the Telegraph:
Private Johnson Beharry's courage in rescuing an ambushed foot patrol then, in a second act, saving his vehicle's crew despite his own terrible injuries earned him a Victoria Cross.
For the BBC, however, his story is "too positive" about the conflict.
The corporation has cancelled the commission for a 90-minute drama about Britain's youngest surviving Victoria Cross hero because it feared it would alienate members of the audience opposed to the war in Iraq.
The story of a real hero, who showed grit, determination, and courage under fire, is not fit to be broadcast to the British public.
The stories of the 15 sailors and marines who surrendered to Iranian pirates without firing a shot, and then participated in day after day of Iranian propaganda, on the other hand, will receive the widest publicity possible.
The behavior that's rewarded will be repeated, and what children learn about, they will emulate.
