In order for a military force to function, the members of that force must be able to depend on their fellow members - on their training, and their dedication.
If one troop cannot rely on another, then the entire force structure is rendered hollow.
This is exactly what will happen to the British military if the dishonorable British marines and sailors are not punished for acquiescing (in virtually every way!) to the enemy.
REPEAT: if they go unpunished, then this event becomes about more than merely the 15 active duty troops who failed; it becomes about how a once proud and strong military became the laughingstock of the world, a hollow force which no longer has the barest minimum martial esprit de corps. IOW: It now appears that when the going gets tough, the British get wimpy.
This is a shame, and Nelson and Montgomery and Churchill must be spinning in their graves. And Thatcher must be boiling.
I wonder how Prince Harry feels? Is this the kind of military he wishes to serve in?
