Well, given that a lot of the targets used by HM Forces are of a running Russian soldier it’s not a million miles way from what they’re used to.

But you can't just make stuff up - especially not extreme lies like saying he'd prefer soldiers to be dead over terrorists.

I stand by that. As I’ve said, he has to be pretty much frog marched like a naughty child to the Cenotaph and forced to don his Sunday best but will make a special effort to travel overseas and attend a wreath laying ceremony for Munich terrorists or invite the IRA to Parliament days after the Brighton bomb.
Not too difficult to realise whom he’d grieve most over, is it?

He was forced to wear an anorak?!
You have no basis to make that assertion, Chill.

It's evident you don't like Corbyn. Neither do I. But it isn't fair or right to insist with no evidence that he would prefer British soldiers to die rather than terrorists. That's extremist rubbish and it's dishonest.
Kromo, you cannot deny that he has more of an affiliation with some terrorist organisations that he has with the British army,
That isn't what Chill was saying.

His attire and choice of poppy weren’t of the standard required, very much in contrast to his colleagues nor befitting of Her Majesty’s leader of the opposition(for which he was widely criticised) but really you already knew that ag.

You know also that he pays lip service to anything honouring the military but will travel thousands of miles and make a special effort at the graveside of terrorists or deny the actions of comrades from mother Russia, carrying out murderous intent on UK soil.
He put it a bit strongly but in essence that is what he was saying.

Really? Just look at everything he’s done as a politician in respect to his attitude to the military and his cosying up with terrorists.
If not, would you care to offer an opinion as to why the Paras would use his picture on a pistol range? It wouldn’t be for the exact arguments I’ve already raised on this thread, would it??
Storm in a Teacup. Apparently as a result the MOD have now revised their Standard Targetry. Lets hope this is the end of it!

We don't "know" that he pays lip service at all. He's an idealistic pacifist. Not really a practical ideology for Leader of the Opposition I agree, but it doesn't mean he 'prefers British soldiers to come back in the Union flag.'

You cannot just make stuff up, Chill.
lol Retro.
I don't care how unpopular he is in the army. It's not right for soldiers to be shooting at images of the leader of opposition.
Do lighten up Kromo.It wasn't an officially approved incident, just a few Tommies amusing themselves.

Please do add the ‘over his terrorist buddies’ part that I implicated in the earlier post, it helps with the context.
Dodging the ‘why would they act in such a manner’ question too eh? I’ve given my opinions with what I feel are reasonable arguments, still waiting for yours.
Question Author
LOL, thanks for that retro.
Will forward it to my pub quiz partner, also ex HM Forces but ironically a Labour Party activist and detester of JC.
Sorry, I had to switch to laptop.

He's not a terribly popular politician in the country at large anyway, so it's not exactly unsurprising to see he's unpopular in the forces. More specifically, though, he's supported prosecution for people involved in Bloody Sunday and meets with extremely dubious people (incl. IRA and Islamists) out of a misguided and rather self-important sense of being a peace-broker. He's also been attacked far and wide in the press - sometimes perfectly legitimately, sometimes not-so-legitimately (e.g. his choice of coat or how deeply he nodded his head at the cenotaph).

Like I say, though, his popularity in the army isn't and shouldn't be important on this. This is not something soldiers should be doing. Evidently the army agrees, as they're investigating the incident and have called it an error of judgement.
(incidentally the reason I had to switch is because the level of popups on my phone is making this site unusable.)
Some Theatres are not all Act 1, scene 2 with an intermission. As they were in a different sort of Theatre that some here would fear to attend. These men are members of a highly disciplined Regiment. They are human and have a breaking point. To let off steam instead of cracking up with stress is a far better and harmless occupation but one a civilian could never understand.
Had there not been a video I doubt that there would be a investigation/
well duh
