Thanks for that. Now this is fascinating, I'd just expect for a commitee like that, and one claiming to be around since 1916 at that, not to overlook (or diverge from) that part of the government protocol.

    I'm just spitballing now but the Government might be implying "you are probably a civilian reading this and deciding when it's a distress situation is up to military personnel"? No idea, frankly.
