Army must bite bullet

In other words, the army, which has a long tradition of no cover-ups, must go on the offensive when matters tend to blemish its once proud image with information provided to the public. It cannot afford to dodge any unsavoury missiles or bullets thrown its way.

It must bite the bullet, even if it leaves a funny taste in the mouth.

May I remind Brig Rodney Smart that the army is the bedrock of our democracy, and if its image and credibility are always on the line, all fall down.
