To be an SAS officer you have to be fitter than the fittest, this was a tragic accident, but feel that the commanding officers could be a 'easier' as it is training etc.
Yes, it is a tough course, but the Amry still have a duty of care to there officers.
RIP to the brave guys, who only wanted to be the tough 'who dares wins' beret.

You are quite right. I have known such men, they will die before admit defeat, to me, there is no question they continued when they should have stopped. They have one aim, to complete the mission, everything else is secondary. I do think there should be more checkpoints with guys being assessed as to their condition, &, as "P" troop, guys being binned if their condition cannot can not meet the requirements. But we have lost 2 fine, brave, & determined men, & we can only praise their efforts, & send condolences to the families. RIP lads.
