Blackbriar 8,569 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) Yeah its fooking ridiculouse of the copper that Grassed him up. Hope somewhere along the line he or she needs same type of help but goes down instead. The whole thing is a bad advert for recruitment. FFS Join up lay your life on the line for Politicians really then get shafted by the cnuts. There should be a public outcry to him being found guilty a petition of some sort so they have to show leniency. I think I might have found one............................... http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/980/743/044/ It's clearly been running for a while now, but in the light of recent events, it's got to be worth a minute of your time ?

unlacedgecko 1,466 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Don't ever make the schoolboy assertion that Pf are on a par with a brf , they are far above and beyond that and bring a lot more to the table than just cutting around Salisbury plain in scimitars,they are big timers and very much an outdated concept but they are by head and shoulders a cut above your regular joe crow in battalion I'm not. But in theatre PF and BRF fulfil the same role, just like 2 PARA and 2 RIFLES fulfil the same role in theatre. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,790 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Did anyone see that documentary called Armadillo? It was the Danish infantry in Afghanistan, they assaulted a Taliban trench which had a PKM and RPG in it taking casualties. When they finally got to it they used grenades to clear it and then had to shoot everyone in the trench. They were then court martialed by their hideous left wing politicians but in the end luckily they were let off....if I was a soldier I'd be thinking twice before putting my life on the line since they are so quick to hang them out to dry.

gonetoearth 5,144 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) When the calibre of leader such as tootle resign and leave due to the way are troops are being treated and the way the armed services are being maligned its time to worry , the powers that be have a duty to serve justice or we would be no better than the scum were fighting , In this day and age they should have known the footage was always going to come back and haunt them , What done is done but iam sure the marine family will not desert him nor should this nation As julian Thomson said a i hope the powers that be show leniency to a man that acted in extreme circumstances after a period of extreme warfare , Edited November 9, 2013 by gonetoearth 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THE STIFFMEISTER 16,116 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I'm sorry gecko but I'm not having that the average brf bloke brings as much to the party as a finder man, the worst thing that happened to p f was that websters book, it should have remained a closed book for those aware of the platoon rather than being the latest thing for weasels straight out of basic training to chops off about Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unlacedgecko 1,466 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 You misunderstand, im not disagreeing with you in principal, just pointing out that the in theatre role is the same. My knowledge of PF isnt from a book/tv programme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bryan 1,362 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 It's a sad day when an invading foreign force can't murder a local, film it, download it to his PC and when arrested for another crime in his home country, have to answer for his action? An army can't expect unqualified support for the actions of every soldier. Nazis are still being hounded. The poor things, it must have been very stressful? http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/a-german-prosecutor-looks-for-those-behind-nazi-era-massacre-in-france-a-881019.html 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bryan 1,362 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Soldiers should be respected and supported for maintaining higher standards of discipline and bravery than most people could imagine. Not for sinking to the lowest levels most civilians would sink to out of fear and lack of training/discipline. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
