My friend is in the army and says that the group of men are like a close family and use difficult and sometimes offensive humour to try and soften the position they are in. Then when they get to work, they switch and go into professional mode.
But I do agree that Marc needs to learn that the HMs are not his army friends so won't find some of his stuff very funny.
In the DR at the end and during the Joel interview, he proved that he can be calm and sensible in certain situations, as he would have learnt in the army. And sadly, I think the army (whether it is just the training aspect of it or actually going to war) can destroy a persons mentality. My friend turned to drink and drinks more than the amount Marc stated yesterday.”

Agreed. Marc isn't all bad as some people make him out to be. But he isn't in the army and he isn't in Ireland. He was with people from different walks of life so he can't expect people to enjoy his sense of humour and not be offended by it.
