        I can't believe they've let this happen again to another poor soldier. Total neglect of duty of care.

        assuming it's heat stroke, the platoon sergeant can't have a private held down and forced to drink.

        My point is however was in charge should have called off the exercise on such a day.

        and furthermore, in the case of the SAS deaths they simply didn't drink when told to.

        I think if these soldiers simply don't drink when told (ordered?) to, the army has even bigger problems.

        2/2 when an awful lot of private soldiers don't even have the wherewithal to look after themselves.
