Train hard, fight easy, Old Pongo`s know. Your training doesn't allow for much thinking time, when under fire, you switch to Automatic. The mistake these 3 idiots made, was putting it on record. You don't get much higher in the pecking order than a Royal Marines Commando Sergeant, most guys above his level of training are SF.

One rule. Better to be judged by 12, than carried by 6.

Unless you have been in these situations, you really have no idea whatsoever & your opinion is worthless.
