You are suggesting there is something wrong with the attitude of the forces, as someone who comes from a military family and who has surving friends I felt it necessary to point out that negative sterotyping is a safety valve, "rag head" in particular comes from a long tradition of identiying the enemy by his dress, rather than his hummanity.

Now, should HRH have used that term? No. Is it understandable? Yes. For someone who posted a "joke" I think you are the one who comes across as not taking it seriously.

Oh, and it is, "would have", not, "would of". There is no excuse for bad grammar.
