I&#x27;ve seen clips of this before but the full documentary-style video features in this from a blog I follow.<p>&quot;Footage also shows officers struggling to maintain order in their unit while conducting manoeuvres while others were found climbing trees and frolicking around in the woods.<p>“With one man climbing a tree to feed the birds,” the narrator says, “the troop commander gave up, admitting he could no longer control himself or his men.”<p>&quot;At one point, a Royal Marine is taken away by nurses after suffering from side effects and nausea.&quot;<p>Yikes. Apparently some of the squaddies that took part in this had issues and were paid out compensation not too long ago.
