I see why he has the job and mental health hasn't exactly been top of the tree for the UK armed forces welfare in the past. However I struggle to understand how a grown man can be upset by a jumbled up bunch of electrons sent over the interweb by some no name keyboard warrior. Touchy hormonal teens who live their lives via Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram etc yes I can see that but an RSM in the British Army. Maybe as a KOS living in the 21st century I'm missing something
