Red Arrows – or poisoned culture?
- reputation has been trashed by reports of a “toxic culture”
- “met roulette” – too far fetched?
- self-marking their own performances
- bullying or sexual harassment unacceptable
- There are no bad regiments, just bad commanding officers
- 6 month’s on since the invasion
- Boris welcomed as a bit of a returning hero
- US aid would appear to be in the region of $10 million to date
- But surpassed by the Baltic states, Poland, and Norway
- Today’s military still is unwilling to work with the media
- military likes to operate on a “need to know” basis
- But media believes the public has a right to know – immediately
- the military has only half-embraced social media.
- It sees it still as a one-way media
- This has to change – if the military doesn’t listen what hope is there?
