Dear PPRuNers,
Apologies if I'm wrong, but there's still a dead 18 year-old Iraqi attracting flies out there somewhere.
And I don't think he tripped over and banged his head after a boozy night out at a Baghdad go-go bar
Wasn't there DNA evidence linking the rifle butt of one of the soldiers to the deed geeza?
I, like most of you, find it abhorrent that our soldiers stood trial for a "murder" committed in one of the most hostile and difficult environments imaginable.
But in the same breath we have to make sure our troops don't ever let their reputation for 100% professionalism slip.
Because isn't that what separates the British Armed forces from the Yanks? And look at the problems they're having!!
At least our guys remove their shades when they speak to locals?!
Kind regards,
