Paprika, there are always stories like this in the tabloids. Defence is a reflection of society and as such there may be incidents like this from time to time. In current conflicts, it’s often very difficult to distinguish civilians from the enemy. The general population loves a Defence story when they are providing assistance with floods and fires but are very quick to lay the boot in at the first opportunity. Walk a mile in a soldiers shoes, and then make your judgement. Some of the FB posts may be from defence personnel who have just returned from operational service, this does not excuse their actions or attitudes but may explain them. BTW, if the individuals are identified, I can guarantee that they will be punished.
