This is very upsetting. I have no idea what goes on in these training camps, but it must be horrific and I have no idea why no one bothers to change this ...

...and this comes so soon after the BBC's very illuminating undercover documentary on bullying in the British army. Something's not right.

There is something seriously wrong with the system for these things to still be happening, no amount of "reviews" and "we are looking into this" will solve the problem.
The MoD need to step up to the plate and sort this out, by changing the culture in which our soldiers are trained, and that starts from the top down.
