I must admit to feeling a sense of intense frustration - and I'm not directly involved in ops in the sandpit.
I think most people feel that our troops are 'damned if they do and damned if they don't'. There are two main groups with two totally different agendas at work - both know how to use the meda.
Of course 'war crimes' are reprehensible, but as long as there have been wars, there have been war crimes and they will continue. You can only do your best otherwise there will be more resources spent policing than doing the job in the first place.
Are we not handing a propaganda coup on a plate? 'There's no smoke without fire' - our do gooders et al are undermining all the good works that our poor sods are doing.
I truly believe this is a no win position.
