London - Britain's military top brass has been embarrassed and infuriated by a shocking home video showing drunken elite guardsmen performing kinky sex dressed in just their world-famous bearskins and scarlet tunics.
Existence of the shocking film, revealed by the Sun newspaper on Wednesday, was confirmed by the army.
The soldiers of the Scots Guards, a prestigious regiment that also serves in southern Iraq, are seen shamelessly exposing themselves to the camera and dancing half naked while swigging from bottles.
The four men, all believed to be from Glasgow, in Scotland, are seen fondling each other, dressed in nothing but their prestigious tunics, bearskins and socks.
The incident happened in Chelsea barracks in London last Friday, the army confirmed.
"This is high spirits and horseplay by young soldiers which we do not condone. They have been identified and will be dealt with," said an army spokesperson on Wednesday.
Spanking bottoms
Clearly concerned, and attempting to play down the incident, military sources said the men had "just let off steam". Such behaviour was "quite natural" in young men.
In another X-rated clip the guard filming his three colleagues performs a lewd sex act on one of them and spanks his bare bottoms.
Furious colleagues have demanded that the men be kicked out the army. But the spokesperson said it was now up to the company commander to decide on disciplinary measures.
"We are supposed to be one of the most disciplined regiments in the entire Army but these guys have made us look like fools. We feel let down by them and they should be shown the door," one insider was quoted in the Sun.
