mate threatening to kill someone over a disagreement is cooked. army or not, that's not on
bloody oath. you can't be threatening to kill anyone, no excuse
ffs this is why we can't have nice things in the forces. zero professionalism from this bloke, good on them for demoting him
meanwhile politicians threaten the country every day and nothing happens. typical
fair enough. just saying there's always two sides, but yeah threatening is over the line
insulting and threatening? yeah nah get stuffed mate. you don't do that to your own

wonder what led to it. usually these stories have more to it than just 'soldier mad'. not excusing it but context matters
yeah nah I'm with you. context might explain but doesn't excuse that behavior
demoted for good reason. if you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen
lol okay bootlicker. what about the officers who push soldiers too far?
so one mistake and his career's done? seems harsh but I guess they have to set an example
poor bloke hopefully he learns from it. still a person at the end of the day
nah get real. you threaten someone's life, you don't deserve sympathy. end of
