Sunfish we've all seen the video and guess what - most of us think it's just about time that our servicemen dealt with these people in the kind of way that they understand.
Despite the efforts of the press to try and tell us what to think, once again, common sense seems to have prevailed, and while the politicians wring their hands in fake concern, the rest of us just keep thinking "about time too - they got what they deserve".
We're talking about people that throw bricks, fire bombs, deliver suicide bombs, and saw-off people's heads. They ain't worth tuppence; no right-minded person gives a damn, and it's gratifying to see that despite all the usual media and government-led advice on what we're supposed to think and feel, the typical guy in the street thinks it's a classic case of rough justice.
Call me old fashioned. but I'm with our servicemen on this one, all the way.
