This has NOTHING to do with their work! They weren't on duty.

In the British Forces the rules are that whether you are on duty and off duty you must be loyal to the uniform you are wearing and to your country that you are representing and to HM Crown
(in our case Malta and the head of the country which is the President). One must remember that those wearing the forces uniform are ambassadors of the country they represent and at no time must they show disrespect to the flag and to authority, and must not bring their uniform into disreput. Irrespective whether it is or not is their fault they should have used their common sense and walked away from trouble and therefore must face the consequences for their actions.

@ John Zammit: What is the fuss about, you ask? I sincerely hope that we have moved forward since the time of the British seamen in Malta. Also, I sincerely hope that we do not stoop that low in our behaviour and remember that wherever we are, we wear our flag and we are letting our own country down by misbehaving abroad! Moreover, it's soldiers we are talking about - people who should be an example to all.

What is soldier common behaviour?
Does John Zammit know what happened?
Perhaps he can let the rest of us know.

What's the big fuss; this is quite common behaviour with soldiers serving overseas; have all forgotten the time of the British forces in Malta?

Perhaps it is too early to comment - but certainly, the Maltese authorities must investigate this matter.

I do not believe that there are any 'OFF DUTY HOURS' in the Army, and the Police.
