"They have to be myths because Teritowelling tells us men are never struck by senior ranks."

Ehmmm NO Raggy - again putting words into my mouth. But just to humour me and substantiate your claim quoted above - look up the post and give us chapter and verse where I told everybody that men were never struck by senior ranks.

What I did state quite clearly was that under the terms of the Army Act it is an offence for any senior rate or officer to strike a subordinate - You at the time I believe were either trying to convince us or support someone else telling us that summary execution of troops in the field was permitted and condoned by senior commanders. My contention and counter argument was that if it was an offence just to strike a subordinate how the hell could it be credible that those who command the army would sanction summary executions - still not one single name of any British Soldier who suffered one of those summary executions, wonder why?

Another case of a baseless accusation being thrown without any substantiation - boringly predictable and totally pathetic.
