Is that really the impression that you got from reading the article David?   That the army did not care?

[davidc4430]

what i get from this story and all the other stories of soldiers getting killed while 'practicing' is they have plenty of rules but often dont follow them and when a soldier dies he gets a fully paid funeral and a nice speech of what a good fellow he was and then its back to normal.

of course they promise it will never happens again, but it will.

just like the bullying, the treating of some women as things to be abused, some boys too.

then the videos leak out and its all a big deal for a while then its 'ok guys, smokes cleared, back to normal'

maybe if we actually put in prison some of those who didnt follow the rules they might try harder.

This death wae 100% preventable.
None of the new guidelines to stop it from happening were followed.

Hmmm, so the soldier crouched down behind a plywood building during a live-fire excercise?

Is this an example of a Darwin award?

John Howard's Iraqi war.
Not everything is Labor's fault.
In this particular circumstance it actually has nothing to do with the morons that think they run the country. Has everything to do with a family losing a member due to not having followed the guidelines established after another poor soldier had lost their life but you can chose to bash Labor over anything now, can't you chameleon?
Which is a really stupid name for you because you never change!
