Most people know where they stand on this, if he was or if he wasn't isn't really an issue now is it ? This is just hounding someone for the sake of it, sure he may have told a white lie, but nobody got hurt, nobody lost any money, nobody has become homeless or caught a disease.
Beside which, how many of you sanctimonous prats have never told a lie, never told a white lie, never tried to make yourself appear something your not, how many of you are old enough to know better ? How would you feel if it was your son being hounded for a white lie ? you would clip his ear and say don't do that again. You wouldn't want to see him embarassed ?
Just see it for what it is, a little tale that got out of hand. I don't care if you are ex servicemen, I am ex UK Army and I don't give a flying shreck what he wants to claim he did.
