sussex 5,777 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 A nice thank you for years of service to your country...even if he did bring it back surely someone could have given him a bolloc.king & showed some common sense instead of dragging the man through all this shite.Must do wonders for morale when your ducking bullets & i.e.d's to know theres some halfwit back home ready to drop on you like ten ton of eagle shite first chance they get. This man deserves better from his country......................................................................Would it help his case if he changed religion...just a thought. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,474 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Sounds like common sense might prevail after all Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brewman 1,192 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 good look to the man when hes next up in court... why hes there in the first al never no the mind boggles. He was there in the first place because common sense did not prevail and some prick seen him as an easy target : " oh look let's f**k over a war hero who is protecting us from terrorist scum. We can then say look we don't discriminate but we won't go after certain members of the community who publicly state that Soldiers are murderers and death to them etc etc." Ball-less fookin wonders Rant over (Common sense = sense that isn't very common) Ironic isn't it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rake aboot 4,935 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 He had an illegally held handgun and various calibres of unlicensed ammunition. If it had been me, I would have got f****d,, but it wasn`t it was a bloke trained to kill as many as poss with as little available as poss,, just the type to trust with unlicensed handguns !. Not saying the bloke isn`t a hero,, but why the different treatment for him.? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 IMO If he could be trusted with all manner of weapons doing all sorts of dirty "deniable" missions for this country, he can certainly be trusted with a trophy. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yup cause not many ex squaddies turn to armed robbery ! The chap wasn't just an ex squaddie though was he? He was 22 regt. tasked with training Iraqi forces and commended for it with a gift from them................. Now I accept that he should not have had an illegally held firearm and ammunition in his private posession but IF what he has said is true (which is up to the relavent authorities to decide) then I think the fact that his profession is what it is makes the entire situation perfectly understandable.

bigdaz 688 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I'm guessing the people who pursued the case and the people chasing a conviction are the same chinless wonders who would have no hesitation hiding behind him when the need arose. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
