Sorry but I'm going to bite. Please do not take this weasel as an example of what the rest of the RLC are like. His peers are out on the ground doing the job the same as everyone else in theatre. However I agree that he is letting everyone down.

As a point of detail there are not 'large parts' of the RLC to return to the Engrs. Think what the 5 forming Corps are and Posties don't constitute a massive amount.

Wedge, good letter but I hope you don't mind persec going out of the window if it gets published?

Totally off subject but duty rumour is those thieving RE types are trying to pinch the ammo techs.

On subject. Glenton is a coward who doesn't care about the stop the war coalition but is just using them because he hopes he'll get a lighter sentence.

The bloke is a fucking waste of skin and shouldn't be serving anyway. He is using this protest as an attempt to mask his own failings, incompetencies and inabilities I suspect, having the "Stop the war" nutters kissing his ricker will only further convince him that he is doing the "right thing".

He should have done the "right thing" years ago, and signed off.

He should be AGAI'd to the maximum, DCM'd, sent to MCTC for the maximum, then thrown into the gutter where he belongs.

Joe Glenton, I hope you read Arrse, because you are a total and utter cowardly useless cunt.

Always the sensible voice of reason on ARRSE, aren't you Fugly.

I even read that in your voice...

It's already on a couple of people's blogs under my real name. I have nothing to hide on an issue like this - I might have only been a fair to middling soldier and a bit of a scrote to boot but I'm not a moral coward. Unlike some...

**Shaithis** · 24-10-2009, 20:59

Makes me mad to see that cowardly twat. I am ex RLC (and RAOC before then), now MPGS and close enough to Abingdon to spit all over the idiot.

I very much doubt he would go down the Mucky Duck, or venture to stickies for fear of getting hammered all over the place.

The guy is an embarrasment to the RLC, the rank, the Army and to the country. Can't wait for his 5 minutes of fame to end, then he will realise what a dogs dick he has been.

I hope the guys at Abingdon give him a good kick in.

And, damn fine letter writing Wedge. :D

**Issi** · 24-10-2009, 21:23

A brilliant piece of writing Wedge, I hope that it gets the credit that it deserves.

I watched the news earlier and I was disgusted at this individual, I hope, (although I know that he won't), gets the sentence that he deserves.

**Dunservin** · 24-10-2009, 21:37

Excellent letter. In short, if his conscience was bothering him that much, he could have put his notice in two years ago instead of going on the run. That way, he'd have left the Army long before any requirement to return to Afghanistan.

Or am I a meringue?

Evening mate ;)

Voice of reason? No. You know full well I spout off regularly, but voice of reason? That all depends on what I spout is sense or not - and only the people who read it can decide that. Voice of a bloke in a position to have an opinion on a JNCO who has directly disobeyed orders? Having failed to have an utterly unsuitable JNCO disciplined because of "Duty of Care" issues, recently, I can sympathise with Glentons CoC for their inability to inhibit this wanker.

That's as maybe, but you're a better man than Glenton any day. Thanks for articulating so well what many people think. So,a sapper steps up to the crease with such style when so many of the rest of us can merely curse and seethe. Well done.

**Recce19** · 24-10-2009, 22:21

Very good letter Wedgey!

Changed my FB status to: 'LCpl' Joe Glenton, you do not speak for the average Tom - you are a coward and have let your muckers down big time!!! I for one, turn my back on you!

Cracking Letter BTW!

Really excellent letter. I am wondering whether an editor might actually publish it as an article given its length. They get all sorts of experts to write specialist pieces and I feel sure that the editor of a quality publication would see its merits in its entirety.

She should be wearing a yellow dress to match the colour of his spine.
