He didn't do as ordered and therefore has faced a court martial, if officers and airmen could simply pick and choose where they go and what they do the RAF would be totally ineffective and the whole way the RAF works would fall to pieces, people like him should not be allowed in the forces and I am glad he's been punished.

Hello, I am a science teacher but recently had to teach Social Studies. I feel compelled to look at human rights, not just for my class but for myself. As the children inform me, basic humans rights are so clear cut. They have clear views and so do I. I, as an individual, with no cultural or religious or polictical stance pressured on to me, know that Kendall-Smith is a hero. Malcom Kendall-Smith is my hero.
