[Papewaio]

There is a sex scandal involving a porn ring operated by senior officers in the Army.

"He said the latest allegations to engulf the ADF – in which at least 17 male army officers formed an email ring that circulated footage of members having sex tagged with demeaning commentary about the women – was “shocking but not surprising”.
“This isn't something that's a one-off. These are the recurring themes in the Defence Force and show there has been little improvement in inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour,” he said."

Second link has a very angry response from the Army's Head about this and the video is a nice cut down of all those involved.

The little speech in the video is great, let's hope they clean the army up and maybe serve as a good example for other armies.

Australia has an army?

Australia has an army?

This is from Wiki:

30,235 (Regular)
16,900 (Active Reserve)
12,496 (Standby Reserve)




Not that big, but a army nonetheless.

[Conradus]

That army's even smaller than the Belgian one. And we have 1/2 of the population :s

Do they still use a modified AUG?

New version of the AUG is due end of year...

[Pannonian]

Do they still use a modified AUG?

Was that the make of camera they used, or the video-editing software?

Don't they still claim the longest sniper shot in history? Regardless, they're incredibly competent and pull off some wonderful surprises.

the circulation of pornography in a military force constitutes a scandal?

It is when the women involved are Australian army soldiers and caught on tape unawares.

[Major Robert Dump]

If the women were secretly taped then those men are not nice.
If the women consented then everyone should get promotions for raising morale.

When they actually do something http://www.theage.com.au/news/world/...620277950.html

I'd say that setting up a checkpoint is 'doing something'. I mean, don't you hate it when you die just before you reach a checkpoint? The respawn point is usually miles away, you're lucky it wasn't on hardcore mode, otherwise we wouldn't set up a checkpoint for you at all.

Actually they only "unofficially" claim it - the shot was never confirmed by the Australian Millitary and the claim was only from a reporter citing an unnamed source and unnamed soldier ...

Surely the real scandal is that theses were senior officers sleeping with female juniors.

What's wrong, no clean Prozies in Australia?

Don't you think it's woman witn a particular personality that choses the job, not the harmless type. Bit of overeacting going on imho.
