Are you sure? I understood the news blackout was broken by French television. At least, that's what has put peoples lives in extra danger. The original leak doesn't really matter until someone tells the enemy.

As for the cap..... I think he has more important things to worry about right now than what he is wearing.

It wouldn't surprise me if that was the case, but apparently it was put on an American website, then picked up by an Australian paper, and it snowballed from there.

I saw an interview with him on the BBC, and I could have sworn he said "I don't like England very much at the moment because of the Press, and all the sh*t they write about us".
If he did say that, and having a grandfather who regularly turns the air blue, good on the chap.

Boggert:
Its a cap! WOW...... Whats the big deal, I wore a NY cap for years, is that a big sin...? who cares what was on his cap, he a young soldier in combat, I figure he has other things on his mind.

hobbit:
Whats that word these young uns like, errrrr????? :? :? :?

Yes thats it fashion :dance:

Its called civvies in the forces, and when off duty fine, you dont expect him to wear a combat helmet do you, could have been worse may have worn a stormtroopers helmet, oh no that was for fance dress :lol:

graham78:
whilst i agree that he has ballls for getting his job done as he is paid to do so but seriously today on the evening news they went on for nearly fifteen minutes at how great he is and as a passing footnote added that a member of the forces died today....  i am sorry but there is too much media hype in him doing what he is paid to do, when there are so many people doing it and getting maimed killed injured etc and given hardly any recognition....  the devils advocate question is whether he is doing it for want or to please/upset nanny dearest or get one up on his father????  or even to provoke a little respect from the public?!?!?!?!?

Been there ... done it.... so AM speaking from first hand experience unlike many others, although everyone is entitled to an opinion,

utmost respect that he went out he is a fantastic example for the Royal family but the cap is a bad idea, how can you expect men to follow orders and discipline if the example set is incorrect. If you are going to chastise soldiers under your command you must be setting the correct example yourself.

uniform is issued and should be worn correctly... too many soldiers on ops suddenly think they are Michael Ryan and can dress and act however they feel. Discipline and the chain of command keeps our army at the forefront as an example to other nations

Dress and uniform may be a minor issue but from small acorns..... as they say

Civilians on here may find this a strange pedantic opinion but in a life n death situation the guys below you must respect you and be ready to do as you say without question, you must set a correct example or risk being labelled a hypocrite and losing their respect

on ops the blokes cant just say B***ox  to their managers and walk out for the day as many could in a civvie job

small things like that stick in the blokes minds and mount up in what is a very stressfull situation

He will cop flack for it and rightly so but the utmost respect for going there when he could of hid behind his gran

Cheers Steve
