I don't believe I made any comment about the letters/e-mails. I was aked a specific question relating to the the reports about people being turned away and how it could be justified. Exigencies of the service, might sound like smug crap to you, but it is the sort of thing that does happen in the armed forces when VIP's turn up. If you had ever been in the forces you would know that, and definitiely you would have experienced it.
