A good point Alex. If asking the readers of this forum to remember the hundreds of our Comrades that were killed by friendly fire in WW II, Korea War and so on is considered nonsensical then I withdraw future comments from this forum. It is too bad that the uninformed person who suggested that this is all nonsense wasn't in WW II or The Korean War or the ensuing Peace Keeping duties and he would look at this in a different perspective ( I HOPE)

Herb et al;
I am downright certain that Bob did not mean to denegrate, or insult anyone. The problem with email is that it is too open to interpretation and an individual's sense of humour does not always translate well in print.
When compared to the stripping and assembly of CMP parts,
most of what is said in the Sgt's Mess can in my mind be interpreted as nonsense. I've contributed a lot of said nonsense in this section and got some over reactions from some who chose to interpret my comments in a fashion contrary to my intent. The point is not to get overly sensitive.
Yes we discuss things that may not be as important to others, but that is what the mess is for, and the ability to express one's opinion is what our service personnel fought and are fighting for.
I think you would find Bob to be an upstanding and fun person to meet. To judge anyone by a single posting to a forum does no one any good. Bob is man enough to defend himself, but I thought that I would add my opinion to the conversation.
