Hence I said that I think we'll find that there's a lot more to this than the public reports.. For example what's the SGt's previous conduct and service reports like, what where the actual charges in relation to this incident, for him to have been removed from the army some sort of discipline hearing would have to have taken place and if there was no trails he would have had to have asked for a guilty plea to have been not only entered but accepted by the officer in charge (in the armed forces you can't just plead guilty it has to be analysed and accepted as a correct plea by the officer in charge of the disciplinary hearing)

Aha, but you didn't get caught!!

As Lt Col Nick Jermyn from navy command headquarters said:

"We will always seek to bring to account those whose actions fall short of our high standards of behaviour, and the actions of these two individuals are not reflective of those of their colleagues in the Royal Marines, the Royal Navy or the wider armed forces."

Times have changed.
