jukel123 8,462 Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 To me it's like the difference between a street fight and a boxing match. In a street fight there are no rules. Adrenalin is through the roof, you try and render your opponent harmless by fair means or foul. In a boxing match, it's strictly marquess of Queensberry rules and you are lowlife if you gouge , use the head etc. There's got to be rules in warfare governed by the Geneva convention. In any uniformed organisation,imo, you will get let's say, 5% sadists and psychos whether it's the cops or the army. This minority love being absolute c**ts. They have go to be controlled by strict enforceable rules. Leeway should be given to any squaddie who fucks up in the heat of the moment but at the end of the day you can't have british soldiers murdering people. As I say, maybe I sound naive. But I believe in old fashioned british values even if I sound like captain Mainwearing. Never forget chaps, we are british and have to show and example! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,796 Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 It haven’t watched it and probably won’t. But let’s not pretend that rules of engagement and rules of war aren’t twisted and overlooked by tier 1 units historically. DEVGRU have a bit of a reputation. How many of the hostage takers at princes gate were actually armed? Etc I think operating at that level and with such infamy can and sometimes does lead to cultures of exceptionalism and that can and does lead to immorality. At the same time, these units will be the ones that are asked to cross moral lines when it is deemed necessary by their commanders. I simply don’t have an opinion because there’s way too much to need to understand. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 47,354 Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 I think you have to make a distinction between big operation combat units deployed en masse on the ground and highly specialised SF operatives who are getting sent to iron out the most dangerous shit c**ts on the planet…..sometimes you just have to rinse people !! We ain’t sending blokes with millions of quids worth of training behind them who live their life on 15 minutes to move to be cricket umpires…..we are sending them to do the violence that lets us sleep safe at night ! 4 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 47,354 Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Do folks seriously believe that people who blow up Saturday shoppers and commuters train and buses, who fly planes into building are going to respond to being invited for afternoon tea and a sensible conversation ? The Taliban were going into villages and shooting toddlers for f**k sake…..what exactly is anyone going to say to them ? Id be highly disappointed if the SAS wasn’t going round the planet and ruining these people without mercy ! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 47,354 Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Just now, jigsaw said: But we're they all exactly terrorists,....that is the issue,they shot 9 family members in one house,but found only 4 guns ,and all had their hands bound when shot,how would the four be able to use the guns while handcuffed and then ,why were the other 5 killed,....by all means any Isis/terrorist should just be culled no 2cd chance but not inocent folk,no matter what race they are How do you sort out who is innocent and who isn’t in that situation ? Do we just have to leave it upto the men who have experience on the ground to make their best judgement and trust them to keep us safe by rinsing all the arseholes ?…….I think we do. As my old man used to say, some people only understand one language. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
