Well I sorry but I disagree. yes squaddies can party hard but no harder than civvies .
You walk into town on a fri or sat night and you will see blokes and even women kicking off.
Its the pubs and clubs that are to blame for this not the squaddies. the pubs/clubs are the ones that sell stupid things like shots/alco pops . have them on special offer. but then dont like to pick up the after effects.
squaddies are no different to your average group of rowdy lads going out, and also like civvies there are good and bad .
you could send two groups of lads out, one being squaddies the other civvies and I,d put money on there being just as much chance of the civvie group kicking off.
Fair enough dont allow same sex groups in your hotel , but to condemn a soldier who Incidently was on his own at ten o clock at night (so assumingly at that time just wanted to get his head down) is and utter disgrace and IMO a quick SORRY!!! isnt good enough.
