If the article is accurate I think they've been extremely lucky this far.

They're not stupid, they may sunbathe and listen to music in 'tactical areas' but that doesn't mean they were on stag at the time.

Tactical area here is, I think, given to imply a guard or observation post, or any place where they may encounter the enemy at any moment, but in reality it could be almost anywhere in theatre - including behind a pile of HESCO bastion, quite possibly one of the safest places on earth!

Media hype and big cheese knee-jerk is my thinking. Let them be.
