Soldiers life threatened by his own side.

Fuck him.

See my response; gets me in trouble, I'll wear it.

You're not in any trouble as far as I'm concerned. Well done.

Moros; it's as likely as not the CO tacitly approved,as would the NCOs and junior officers. Those people are as committed to conservative army arsehollery as any grunt; NCOs and junior officers can be worse..

Indeed. A "professional" army my ass. Just modern day conscripts from places too weak to support themselves economically.

I realize I was overly harsh here -- the military must make do with what they have. It is unfair to lay the blame of the few dishonorable, even criminal, members on the honorable and professional whole. Though, quite a few issues might arise, predictably, when you have one cultural group as a majority.

I forgot to indicate that I understood a CO might as well be unaware and that small groups often abuse their victims silently.
