One can extract so much info from a single pic in our case that you just can imagine the same happening in your case. i wish i could site you an example, but i cant. So things like the one under discussion are taken quite seriously here.
I appreciate and understand your measured response.
There are (or were) two objections that I heard, "lack of professionalism" and "security."
First, security. Always good, but can be taken to levels of paranoia that actually inhibits the functioning of an organization. You and I both know there was nothing in that video that had the slightest security implication. Professionals with access to classified materials take this very seriously indeed. I still carry around in my head material that would get me tossed in jail to this day. Soldiers know the difference.
No soldier is going to make a goof video with sensitive information in it.
Second, professionalism. I agree and understand that Pakistan may have rules that are different than ours. I respect that. But I would venture the opinion that men in an occupation that so commonly meets with death and burial should be allowed such fun, and that commanders who prohibit it are thinking of themselves more than the morale of their guys. Again, just an opinion.
Since the pilots apparently were not disciplined, all is well, but it's still an interesting discussion with relevance.
