I know he didn't mean it as an insult, I didn't say he did say it as an insult. I am aware of what he thought he was putting over, but my own view is very much that it shows how thick this guy is: has not a clue about real life - and subsequently, I found his brainless comment highly offensive to all those in the Forces.

Sorry but that's how idiotic I find the man to be. Completely out of touch with reality and real life, and the hard facts about what our soldiers do.

It was crass beyond belief - regardless of his intent.
