Should This Man Be In Prison?

[paulus 26]

Do soldiers get physiological assessments before they join?. If not maybe they should. Seems like theres more and more ex serviceman coming out with all manners of illnesses.

join up, do some, then revisit this thread mate

over here an ex para knifed his best mate to death over a £10 meat parcel in broad daylight after being on the booze

Someone is always responsible IMO

 

I a car crash it's the responsible parties fault,same with a bully victim etc

 

Here it is clearly the MOD

 

I can't remember any psychological assessment when I joined in 2007.

sadly hes not the first veteran to be shafted by authority and i have no doubt he wont be the last, i am in no way condoning what he did but i am understanding it, unlike that judge. this does not mean veterans have free range to commit crimes but i do think that every opportunity should be offered to sort the problems and not sentence because of the symptoms.

you only have to look at what happened to john rambo it could have been alot worse

......or maybe they just see more combat than ever before ?

The clue is the "mental health problems" Surely some sort of detention in a physcho ward/hospital would be more comparable to jail where he wont get the treatment he so sorely needs. Yet be a sports hero or some such and they throw all the help you'll ever need at you. Same as filthy alkies/junkies who have never given their country one jot of themselves in a positive way. The law is an ass and so are the ones meting it out.

More combat than WW1 and WW2...........really? I thought it was more hands on then.

Well there was a lot of 'shell shock' back then as well.

The thing is every case should be judged individually ,if ten people wave a gun at policemen through a window should they all get the same sentence ? Should the cornered smack dealer , with loads of previous get the same as a long serving soldier with mental health problems , caused as a direct result of serving his country ? I don't think so , and you will have every variation inbetween , different circumstances warrant different sentences .

Its can be linked to combat stress but also a it could be personality trait thats made worst though combat and its training its about controled aggression ,yet some keep the aggression not ever combat troop is the full ticket

I should explain - I meant that intense, 'full-on' combat is now a regular and 'normal' part of military service.

Example-I have 4 uncles who all served over 20 years each,as well as a cousin who served 12 years - not one of them ever fired a shot in anger,but I recently saw a documentary where a Company of troops (Para's I think) came under hostile fire every single day, sometimes several times a day, for 4 weeks. World Wars are rare events (thankfully!) - being shot at by the Taliban is not!

NO . . Jail Will Do Him No Good What-So-Ever . . A Junkie When Deciding To Sort Himself Out Will Access Help More Than A Lad Like This , Which Is The Real Crime Here . Hope The Lad Gets What He Needs !

[gonetoearth 5,144]

So basically if you been in the army you've got free rein to do as you please then?

. No lab but dont train a gaurd dog and when it bites some fooker start wondering why , We spend thousands training these lads. And yet instead of redirecting this asset we just let the walk out in to civi st i know before people jump in , that there is a certain amount of retraining But these lads need direction some can not switch off the nation owes them ,
