Poor lad? What, like the poor lads you and your colleagues bullied and tortured? Very interesting that you feel the need to defend/excuse this boy's behaviour when a woman retaliates.
Please re read in context & re quote the final line (unless it doesn't quite suit your argument) & nowhere did I defend the lad, was a suggestion of how lads sometimes act at around that age.
Re Forces acts of "Bullying" or (TORTURING) as you call it, do you believe that 2 decades ago we all lived in PC World ? Or that it is "Torture" ? Can you define torture ?
What is water boarding?
Are these (the examples I gave) techniques used to get an enemy to relinquish information ?
Do you think that these ideas of having a laugh/being bad came to me in an epiphany moment ?
Or that I might have been 'subjected' to much of those myself.
Do you believe that D.I's (training instructors) spoke to everyone nicely & gave them gold stars etc instead of beasting them ?
Do I suffer horrible flashbacks from my intensive training?
Am I a troubled man lacking empathy or love for others ?
Have you ever sacrificed anything other than a lunch break for your colleagues or countrymen ?
Deepcut etc as quoted elsewhere were extreme examples of bullying transfering into abuse & are abhorrent to any sane person, forces, ex forces or civilian.
Do you fully understand your own quotes or merely seeking to sensationalise & demonise others in a holier than though effort to look like Mother Theresa.
I could go on but won't for fear of offending anyone further.
Please, please.

Done.
