Not sure what you are getting at here Michael. I suppose there are a few reasons I posted this:
1)Should the PM and Chief of Defence be making jokes like this?
2)How would the families, friends and others feel about the "joke" and was it appropriate?
3) Is there a reasonable expectation of privacy for these men, even at a public event?
I imagine there are a few more topics of discussion that could come out of it. So far though, I've only been questioned as to the veracity of my claim, and been questioned as to the validity of the discussion or non-discussion, whichever your case is.
