Or do you think like I do that it goes all the time and because of these phone cameras we're getting to hear about it? It smacks of Deep Cut all over again!

I am not shocked that it has happened but disappointed to hear that it has. It reminds me of the Marines with roll mats.
Things go on within the services which are just fun & games such as been 7 balled at pool you have to do 50 naked press-ups on the table.
The camera phones never show the full picture & i can only hope that it is something that has gone too far, and nothing like Deepcut as stated.
Tha Para's & Commando's are proffesional, if a bit un-authordox but i do believe this was something possibly gone too far & you are not seeing the full picture

soldiers are a breed apart from civilians, we have a different outlook on alot of things. the Paras are probably the best elite fighting infantry Regiment the British Army has with exception to the Royal Marine commandos. these men have fort in some of the most ferocious battle ever seen in recent warfare. soldiers cannot be soft in these Regiments and things like these happen all the time. i think that this has been blown out of proportion. lets not forget that the soldier in question is not pressing charges are these the actions of someone who has been raped i doubt it.
if this is rape then the army will deal with this seriously as it will breech army values and standards and the army code of conduct.
i find it annoying that people believe that the army is still bad, like some medieval army. the army spend alot of money promoting values and standards and trying to prevent bullying, racial abuse and sexual harassment.

Yes, agree completely with you. These phone camera's are proving to be quite a powerful force aren't they? I think also, once people see the horror of an actual rape rather than just hearing about them, a more realistic standard of punishment will be handed out.

Wow, did you fall for that cheapo porn movie and think it was the real thing?! Unbelievable. That clip has been around for several years, and repeatedly pops up under the guise of "news" to further undermine our troops.
Get your head out of rectal defilade.

Nothing new, but why oh why do these idiots film it and not think that it will get broadcast to the media? If they are court-matialled then the charge should not be assault but gross stupidity.

Nothing surprises me about those criminals. Just the rest of the world is waking up to what the paras are truly like.

who knows what they did ?!
But if you want people to live like animals and kill other people, you have to accept some occasional wild behaviour.
Everyone says how great they are when they risk their lives for others, but they will soon get bored when not out playing soldiers, it is what they are trained for.

Yes. But not really surprised. As your first answerer shows, most men who are homophobic are closeted gays. So a few men who are not brave enough to come out would resort to rape I guess??

That type of thing has been going on since time immemorial.
My feeling is that it is why most guys join up in the first place !!
