The Army said they were aware of the video and branded the behaviour 'totally unacceptable'. In response, shadow defence secretary Nia Griffith slammed the video on Twitter, describing it as "shocking and completely unacceptable". Tory MP Tom Tugendhat tweeted: "This is disgraceful and falls far below the standards expected of British Army soldiers." "Political tensions are heightened at the moment and this type of behaviour is wholly inappropriate and unacceptable, we expect much better from our Army and soldiers." “We are aware of a video circulating on social media, this behaviour is totally unacceptable and falls well below the high standards the Army expects, a full investigation has been launched.”
