I'm with you NG. Johnston comes across as remarkably composed but none of us know what it was like for him or how he behaved (but I imagine he was pretty together). The Iran 15 was a completely and utterly different scenario and whilst I think they did not do themselves any favours I defy the geriatric crab to say that he would have done any different. All he has done is show himself up to be a rather foolish and bitter individual. Apart from the natural rivalry and good natured banter, the Services all work together nowadays regardless of the operation (I've deployed with both on a few occasions) and the days of petty point scoring, jealousy and backstabbing are, I hope, a thing of the past - just like AVM Macey! Actually I am more disappointed with the Times for printing such an obviously provocative letter.
