British Armed Forces and Government being girly about Jimmy McGovern drama

What was all that huffing and puffing and hissing and spitting all about? Any displays of cowardice should be punished severely, surely? Jimmy McGovern's drama series is about doing something stupid and ending up in the dock. Two CHAVs join up and find they are not up to soldiering. One kills himself after being made camp "bitch" and is bullied relentlessly by Corporal Buckley for being unable to return fire. The other stupid CHAV kills Corporal Buckley for making his mate kill himself thus depriving the army of a good fighting man and is sentenced to 25 years. What is the fucking problem??

Is there just a hint that they should have been given counselling and that they may sue the MoD for hurting their feelings, not showing them enough respect, ignoring their human rights and causing them emotional distress?

Has the army gone girly? We are assured by Chief of General Staff Sir Peter Wall, Colonel Tim Collins and now Sir Richard Dannatt, that bullying doesn't go on at all. Patrick Mercer MP is "offended" on behalf of everyone in the Armed Forces, apparently. But isn't it actually necessary for martial discipline? Cowards should be victimised and given a bad time to discourage the others from similar behaviour in a war situation. Why is the government behaving so oddly in this quite morally uncontroversial drama?

It's part of the liberal elite's agenda to turn everyone into a whimp.
