I'm gonna have to agree with this one.
Sure, it's his right to call in a lawyer, but damnit, it's also his
responsibility to act like a man and to answer for his own actions.
Running to mommy and daddy for a lawyer to contest 7 days of DB
sure doesn't reflect very well upon himself.
We all didn't see the incident.... but certainly things like
chasing and harassing a woman in the office and resisting the
attempts of an Encik to restrain him ain't small potatoes
either.
Like it or not, when we're in NS we all get a whole bucketload of
crap from the superiors, get bitten on the ankles by our
subordinates, and a few (figurative) 5.56mm rounds through the
middle. If his actions are to be excused due to some supposed bad
experiences while in the army, I suppose all of us can act like
hooligans then.
