UK Soldiers in Trouble for "Racist" Language

Following revelations that a US gun manufacturer had Biblical references on gun sights, the Brits have their own scandal brewing. Apparently a soldier had some racist comments scrawled on part of his uniform. And appeared on the cover of the British Army's soldier-oriented magazine. D'oh!

The MoD has launched an investigation after a photograph of a soldier who had an offensive message written on his kit appeared in its official magazine.
The serviceman's left kneepad has "Get some Paki" scrawled on it. His picture featured in Soldier magazine alongside a story about new rations for troops.
The MoD said an investigation was under way to identify the soldier.
Last year, Prince Harry apologised for using offensive language to describe a Pakistani member of his army platoon.
