Do you think you're the next Mary Whitehouse - don't worry so am I.  Maybe it's my age or having a couple of pre-teenagers in the house but what's wrong with everyone, no one has any manners any more and everyone is out for themselves.  It probably was a one off incident and you probably should leave it but personally I would have emptied the bag somewhere it wouldn't be trodden on and then binned the plastic bag later.  People don't take responsibility for their litter (just go to the Highland Show for a day and see) even when there are bins a few paces away.  Why is society just SO DISAPPOINTING ON SUCH A REGULAR BASIS!  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:

One-off or not, volunteer or not, it's not on.

Write to the base commander, as someone else suggested, and write to the local paper as well. Include a photo.

If they get away with it once they're more likely to do it again.

If they get pulled-up over it maybe they'll be more prepared next time.

Great Idea Ambriel ... If the letter is worded well maybe they could end up in a military court or even better a firing squad, that would stop them doing such a terrible thing again !

After all, we are all whiter than white and have never broken a rule, broken a law or dropped a bit of litter, thats why we can all Judge so easily and freely......... :bunny:

Oh, well, the bag and its contents are in the bin and I've cooled off this morning. I thought a public flogging at least  ;D

Yeah, it was stupid but not life threatening (unless of course the body fluids contain some nasty germ).

I'm happy that I at least challenged her. I gave a woman dog walker a poop bag a couple of weeks ago when I saw her dog drop one and she walked away. I wouldn't have done it 10 years ago - so maybe geting older has its benefits. And just to show I'm not a total witch, when I saw a wee boy going into Tesco with his Mum last week and he dropped a piece of litter, went back, picked it up and put it in the bin, I did thank him. So the youth of today isn't a total wash-out  ;D
