Panorama Claims Coverup
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.

//what are your thoughts on whether soldiers who go to war should be prosecuted for doing their job.//
My immediate thoughts are that it is those who send them to war under a false claim are the one who should be prosecuted as a war criminal.
My second thought is that soldiers do not run around gung ho but operate under strict rules of engagement. Something the enemy can ignore. Particularly as the terrorists are in Mufti.
My third thought is that any government who continues witch hunts on the very organisations they call upon regularly in times of internal problems they will not find the disciplined units such willing saviours in the future. (Dustmen's strike, operation Burberry,Ambulance drivers strike, Flooding all over the UK, Dams in danger of breaching etc etc etc. )

Further to my above post. A lot of the involvement our military engages in brings nothing but Kudos to HMG. I am thinking of humanitarian rescue in the Carribean, The Royal Navy assistance in refugee rescue, The RAMC hospitals set up in zones to combat E-Bola.
Lol. I doubt if many Ministers ventured to those areas on their fact finding missions!

// The UK government and army have been accused of covering up torture, sexual abuse and child killings by troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.
A year-long investigation by BBC Panaroma and The Sunday Times is claimed to have uncovered evidence of murder by an SAS soldier, as well as deaths in custody, beatings, torture and sexual abuse of detainees by members of Scottish regiment the Black Watch.
A senior SAS commander was also referred to prosecutors for attempting to pervert the course of justice, according to leaked documents that had been kept secret by the government. //
Serious allegations which have to be refuted or it is a stain on all of us.

I note one Iraqi policeman was singled out as allegedly shot by a UK soldier. There was and then there wasn't an eye witness.
Do you know how many times that policemen and soldiers of the Iraqi and Afghan army have turned rogue and shot UK and US troops in the TOO?
Trial by BBC. No I think not. There was a shyster Lawyer running around Iraq offering inducements to Iraquis to give false witness statements against troops. This investigation is another witch hunt and it stinks. Women and children do die in war unfortunately.
Usually through faulty intel. Saddam's Command bunker received a direct hit with a Bunker Buster bomb.
The bunker was allegedly an air raid shelter and scores of women and children were killed.
Do you think that might of been a regime propaganda coup. They deliberately put those people in there knowing the outcry if it was bombed as an obvious target? Perhaps Bush and Blair could tell you that but in the BBC I do not trust.

retrocop; "...soldiers...operate under strict rules of engagement". It's been my experience that staying within such rules wasn't always the case. Not saying we ever unlawfully killed anyone but we sometimes did 'what we had to do' to 'get results'. "...they will not find the disciplined units such willing saviours in the future." Again, speaking through experience, it's always been my impression that our armed forces do as they're told.
Seeing as how this investigation was not solely carried out by the BEEB, i'll watch it and make my own mind up as to it's validity.
