desertbred 5,490 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 soldiers get paid to do a job some do a good one some bad. On battle field it is the survival of th fittest The Geneva convention was drawn up by western goverments along with the soviet union and japan . the articles of war and procedure were the wests invention but they are the first to complain when they are applied for example bloody sunday, you cant have your cake and eat it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dytkos 17,864 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Not only the seeming injustice but how much is it going to cost in money and morale to arrest and charge them for the murder of some RagHead who would have gladly killed them all at the first chance, armed or unarmed Country's a feckin' joke Cheers, D. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Yea catcher cause that normally you that brings that up lol Can treat them anyway they line. Who an I to judge a lad who's fighting everyday, and risking his limbs. While I live in comfort and feel secure. Do what you have to boys. And stay safe. There will be an outcry if they are jailed. And they better conscript cause I would think soldiers wound leave in the droves and quite rightly so 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It wont be a scratch on what the government will pay in compensation to the family of the terrorist who was trying to kill our own troops! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But......???????? . How do you know Because they were arrested and charged. The RMP wouldn't just do it on pure speculation or guesswork. Yes the RMP's are tossers, but usually very good at their job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
desertbred 5,490 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Suffice to say in any conflict there are no winners its someones Son ,Father,Daughter, Mother who pays with life or limb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But......???????? The guidelines were moved when they started chopping off heads online. Totally agree..that's why i put the "BUT" at the end. These lads did something they thought they'd get away with, but unfortunatly some dozy c**t decided to film it, show it off and then its kept on somewhere that was accessible to the RMP's. We can all go on about the ethic's, the way the insurgents would/do treat others and many other issues. but there are laws and these lads went against them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
