SAS troops could be sacked after posting photos of their top-secret operations and training missions on Facebook

The MoD said the soldiers could face punishments "up to or including discharge"

A spokesman for the MoD said: "We are aware of an incident involving soldiers sharing images online. We expect the highest standards of behaviour from our personnel at all times, whether on or off duty.

"If any action by service personnel are deemed to breach values and standards, they are treated very seriously and there are a number of sanctions available to the chain of command up to or including discharge."
