Hypocrisy with a stiff upper lip

Lieutenant Colonel Tim Collins showed his true colours. After lecturing troops about treating Iraqi P.O.W.'s and civilians with respect, he seems to have broken his own code on numerous occasions. The Colonel is a seasoned old Brit, leading a unit of elite special forces, the kind of troops that actually do something these days.

"If you harm the regiment or its history by overenthusiasm in killing or in cowardice, know it is your family that will suffer. You will be shunned unless your conduct is of the highest, for your deeds will follow you down through history." - Lt. Col. T. Collins.
