Panorama Claims Coverup

[emmie]

over British Military in Afghanistan and Iraq. They are claiming that
British service personnel have committed acts of murder, which sounds
extreme - what are your thoughts on whether soldiers who go to war should be prosecuted for doing their job. I will watch the programme.

Which statement would hold water if all 11 detectives and The Sunday Times team involved were all hand-picked 'lefties'.

Unfortunately the CAGE scamsters muddied the waters,Ken.Now it looks like quite a few more of the crooksters want more of our tax money.Why the Hell are you pandering to them....

My thoughts are they shouldn't be. It's ludicrous.

My opinions on this topic are such that I find it deplorable that we do not support our own troops. We pay ridiculous amount to shyster lawyers to persecute those we order to do our bidding.
They risk their all with inadequate and shoddy equipment. If we can't support our own military, then we deserve the consequences.

You would be thinking that the Beeb would be keeping their heads down nearer an election,pandering to the Corbynista agenda is not going to increase the Labour Partys vote in any way possible.Meanwhile the Beeb still refuse to let the pensioners off from their licence fee tax.Maybe they are hoping for some com-pen-saysution from us tax-paying idiots.

The USA military have an appalling record of bestiality right up to very recent times.

Are the British military above the law and/or scrutiny - no they are not. Are they saints one and all incapable of wrongdoing - no they are not. Is it unknown for individuals and/or groups of them to be out of control and quite awful - no it is not. Is it anti-British to acknowledge this and remain critically vigilant - if so, why ?

no matter what our service men and women do it seems to be wrong

that's not so. There's seldom much complaint about soldiers killing other soldiers, but as OG says there are actions that go beyond what is acceptable. Britain was keen to prosecute such actions after the war. But the rules apply to Britain too.

The Russians and the Chinese don't seem to hate the military. Must be a bunch of right wingers.
