jacknife 2,005 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Just shows the problem we face in this country when you have people who call him a criminal and basically think he got what he deserved These same people will no doubt be against a hit list of jihadies from the UK being handed to British troops Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lab 10,979 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Been a while since I've read a thread that's really had my brain thinking. I know it's all about just having an opinion but I do like to think I was having the correct one. In this case it's very hard to know what to think. Reading Socks post there it firmly puts my mind back to my initial thoughts that he should be freed immediately and although he admits he did wrong the punishment was too severe. But I've also read some good points from Stiff' and it does make you think that certain laws have to be abided too and if broken, just like us, you need to face the consequences. I find it weird how 2 men that have fought for the same thing, no doubt endured very similar training can have 2 completely different points off view on the subject. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Everybody is different lab and thinks differently myself and stiffy had different training and were in different arms of the army so would be in different situations in a battle zone so our views are going to be slightly different ...... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jacknife 2,005 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 I have a lot of dealings with ex forces and the opinions of those that have been to Afghanistan tend to be Those that were out and in the thick of it... The vast majority support him The vast majority of those who think he deserved prison and everything he got.....

Born Hunter 17,798 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) I think seeing the green, maroon and sand coloured berets at the marches and press conferences speaks volumes myself. That's not to say that servicemen who feel let down by the man are wrong. You make your opinion based on what you're presented with and if you feel it warrants support then you give it. It's that simple. Edited March 28, 2017 by Born Hunter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes we are all very different mate. I take on board yours and Stiffs opinions and try and make some sense of it. I certainly wouldn't have wanted to make the call on what punishment he should face anyway that's for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
