Shit On By The Country He Served


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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.

did he only bump the one off or was he nutting them on regular basis on his five tours

 

you would have thought he would have learnt something on his 5 tours
he did, he learned how to deal with these people the correct way.

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?
