its bizarre that some British people would condone it...whatever the circumstances.... The excuses for it have been pretty strange...'he was stressed' etc....fairly sure ALL of them are stressed, The casual execution of prisoners is not something to be condoned.

Is that the British way? Fraud?

The Taliban are not the governement....wtf are you talking about? i think that comment shows where YOUR loyalties lie..in a home for the fecking bewildered. You signed the petition, as youre a ****wit...no other reason... MILITARY men tried this soldier, not some fecking accountant in a dorp in...

and? Do terrorists kill people? Not sure if, when in your own country, that is occupied by a superior force, that fighting back class's you as a terrorist, but we could argue that for days. Why would Karzais government treat people as heroes, when they have repeatedly tried to assasinate...

Why would you not expect the Taliban to be jailed exactly? Are there no Taliban in Guantanamo? Kabul Central Prison? You really are talking bollocks.

And does that load of waffle mean, that you condone, the execution of wounded, prisoners on the battlefield? It was a military court, I think his peers know about what goes on, on the battlefield, don't you?

So, you condone the murder of wounded prisoners of war on the battlefield soulman ..?

If the taliban released a video of a wounded, captured British soldier, being casually executed...Im sure that would be the general view :smile:

I think refusing to work until rules of engagement are changed is mutiny. As for even playing field? Youre kidding?

British armed forces have a reputation of being fine soldiers. Fierce in battle, and compassionate after the battle. His actions send the wrong message out. He was tried by his peers. His peers decision is also a message.

I think the Taliban, seriously wounded, prisoner, had been wounded fighting what he deemed an occupying force, by a helicopter gunship. If you think its ok to shoot wounded prisoners, would you support the Taliban doing the same? British forces are supposed to set the standard.
