Records of gay military sackings deleted by Ministry of Defence

Military police records of service personnel who were dismissed from the Armed Forces for being gay have been destroyed, BBC News has been told.
Veterans who requested documents about investigations and interrogations into them by the military police have been told the files were deleted in 2010.
The Ministry of Defence told the BBC it had a legal duty to ensure the details were erased from service records.
But one veterans' group said: "To many, this may feel like a cover-up."

It is a tough call.

On one hand, the erasure removes a stain on the record of loyal service by many.

On the other hand, if it now just means that the records indicate dismissal, it implies legitimate cause unless the record was corrected to read 'improperly dismissed without cause'.

Did you know that I'm a perfect human being? Any mistake I have ever made or any fault I have I just conveniently delete from my memory. I can't think of a single time when I made a mistake or did something wrong.

Cover-up time again!

Our Dutch military are also in the habit of ´losing´ sensitive evidence.
