Born Hunter 17,780 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 At the end of the day he knew the rules and chose to break them knowing the possible consequences if he was caught, now he's facing those consequences. Very true and I think it's worth pointing out that the man himself isn't pleading for everyone's sympathy. The noise around this is being made by thousands of civilians, marines, soldiers and other servicemen! Just look at the sea of green. The naivety of the politicians and Left who believe this sort of thing isn't part and parcel of every conflict they fight in, whether the battlefield be Europe, the Falklands or the Iranian embassy in London 1980. The public are delusional to these facts, the politicians verbally sanitise war so as to more easily justify their policies and for a long time our Servicemen have had the freedom to just get on with it. These days they don't and this case is all that coming to a head. Our views on warfare need recalibration, if not to save this injustice then to prevent politicians meddling under a false sanitised image of what is going on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,436 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Didn't the petition to pardon him only get around 100,000 signatures even with the backing of the national press? Hardly an overwhelming amount of support. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hardly an overwhelming amount of support. LOL, soooo thousands? What's your point? Who said it was overwhelming, I said all the noise is being made by supporters, not him. For those that seem to think the man himself has not taken this on the chin like a man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,436 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Whining in a national newspaper about how hard done by he is and how jail is so hard doesn't seem like taking it on the chin like a man to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,780 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) Whining in a national newspaper LOL. He was interviewed because there are a f**k ton of people protesting his incarceration! It's not like he's here banging on about this on is own. In fact if nobody wanted to interview him or support him he'd just be sat there doing his time and liaising with his legal team on his options like every other convicted criminal. A man doesn't just accept his fate from an injustice, that's what weak willed cowards do. Don't expect him to just accept it. But a man does move forward and fight for his justice with dignity.

C556 351 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 It doesn't really bother me that he shot an injured Taliban fighter. If you're going to break any rules or laws, make sure you don't get caught, or don't break them in the first place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What by getting caught?look at Blair mayne and the achievements he done on the battle field and he's also a hero to us, but shit on by the government, seems that all the wrong type are running the asylum these days, even you yourself being a military man, would you not be pissed off if you were hot in battle then getting jailed for killing your enemy?
