So he's at Cawdor Barracks then, that used to be RAF Brawdy near Haverfordwest. Why didn't they just say that

As long as it isn’t contrary to military law, or applicable R.O.E, then yes. That’s what being in the military is about. You follow orders, don’t argue / question them.It sounds a lot like the “Only following orders” argument used by the Nazis tbh
