ffs, another drunk soldier screwing up. Do they not have anything better to do at Waiouru?

Eva Anderson2026-06-22T06:58:45.000Z

Headbutting a senior? That's a quick way to end your career hope it was worth it mate

Finn Walker2026-06-22T07:14:45.000Z

i blame the cocktail night culture tbh. Too many of these lads think they're invincible after a few drinks

Finn Walker2026-06-22T07:32:45.000Z

yeah nah, the culture is the problem. Too many ppl defending it cos they were in the force

Aria Wilson2026-06-22T07:56:45.000Z

c'mon, that's a stretch. But fair point

Reagan Shaw2026-06-22T07:23:45.000Z

wait, a cocktail night at a military camp? That's weirdly fancy for the army lol

wonder if the cocktail night was themed or just random

Reese Morgan2026-06-22T07:37:45.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. Boot him out, no respect for rank equals no place in uniform

Blake Turner2026-06-22T07:49:45.000Z

another one for the NZDF naughty list. Bet he was trying to impress someone

Blake Turner2026-06-22T08:34:45.000Z

Taylor Wright2026-06-22T08:05:45.000Z

cocktail night sounds fun until someone gets headbutted... typical army night out tbh

Aria Wilson2026-06-22T08:12:45.000Z

my cousin was at Waiouru, said the drinking culture there is wild. This doesn't surprise me

Drew Parker2026-06-22T08:27:45.000Z

what a load of shit. Off ya pop, no time for heroes who can't hold their liquor

Noah Bennett2026-06-22T08:41:45.000Z

everyone so quick to judge, we don't know the full story yet. But yeah not a good look

Riley Scott2026-06-22T08:49:45.000Z

lol cope, he's a grown man should know better

Eva Anderson2026-06-22T09:00:45.000Z

Reese Morgan2026-06-22T09:32:45.000Z
