My "excuse" for my part in the outcome, which I'm neither proud nor ashamed of, was that it was what the victim wanted - considerably more, in fact, and I think the victim has more right to have a say in the outcome than those who've been uninvolved. It wasn't my choice to let anyone get away with anything, nor was it up to me - you're not just making things up but openly lying about events you know nothing about other than my detailing them, and what I detailed has no connection with what you're saying.
You were pretty low in my estimation before, blaming your lack of further promotion on others being promoted who are downgraded, blaming "Fatty MacFatF*ck" when your own physical fitness is at best questionable, and blaming your commanders for their failure to give you the credit you think you deserve, but you've reached an all time low here even by your standards.
A willingness to 'get stuck in' to a brawl in the NAAFI and the "honesty" to admit that you'd leave your mates and subordinates to die in the field unless you were suitably safe and protected are not things to be proud of.
While the Army may have changed just as the police undoubtedly has, and soldiers may arguably be less fit or physically robust and different in other ways, I don't believe for a second that the ethos of backing up your mates, your peers, and above all your subordinates has changed by the smallest fraction in the Army, the police, or any similar organisations or that those serving in them are any less ready, willing and able to do so, whatever the risk to themselves, than they have ever been.
There will always be bottom feeders who will put themselves first, who will at worst disgrace the uniform others deservedly wear with pride or at best bask in the undeserved glory others have given that uniform, and some will inevitably rise just as sh1t floats as well as cream, but that should never detract from the sacrifice all the rest are willing to make.
