Bad lads

 Thanks for sharing that story from Bad Lads' Army Season 2. It's definitely a scene that could raise some questions depending on how it was portrayed and edited.

To break it down:

Corporal Nayoklas respected the lads' privacy by staying behind the screen.

Corporal Murray, on the other hand, entered the room and visibly observed the lads, even being caught on camera looking at their genitals.

Your question is whether Murray was being caring or just curious.

Let’s consider both possibilities:

1. If he was being caring or professional:

In a strict military environment, corporals and staff are often expected to supervise recruits closely, even during medicals, to maintain discipline, prevent fooling around, or ensure that everyone complies properly.

He might have felt responsible for his group and stayed close to ensure the process was followed correctly.

2. If he was being inappropriately curious:

If he went out of his way to watch the lads undress, especially when it wasn’t necessary (as Nayoklas clearly showed by staying back), it might suggest a lack of boundaries or professionalism.

The fact that cameras caught him staring at a private area would naturally raise questions about his motives, especially when a different approach was possible.

Final thoughts:

Without knowing his intentions, we can’t say for sure. But from the outside, especially in a filmed environment where the contrast between the two corporals is so stark, Murray’s behavior could easily come across as intrusive. Whether he was just doing his job or stepping beyond what's appropriate depends on the context, his past behavior, and the expectations set by the show or the army staff.

If it made viewers uncomfortable, that’s a valid reaction—and it's worth examining how reality shows frame these moments for drama or controversy.

Do you think the show meant to highlight the difference on purpose?
